🕊️🏔️ THE MILES TELL ONLY PART OF THE STORY.

We’ve added a new feature to the Martinez Classic website! Breeders can now explore our race course in 3D, take a virtual flyover from the release points to our loft, and view ground elevation data along the way.

Zoom in, look around, and explore the mountains, ridges, and valleys that put those race distances into perspective.

Seeing the terrain gives you a whole new appreciation for these incredible pigeons. Their intelligence, strength, endurance, and determination to find their way home are truly something special. We watch them arrive at the loft, but it’s easy to overlook the journey behind every arrival.

More than miles. More than a finish position. A remarkable journey home.

Visit our website and tap “3D Course” to explore it yourself!

🏁 MARTINEZ CLASSIC — RACE 3
THIS SATURDAY • APPROXIMATELY 165 MILES

The birds are scheduled for two 50-mile training tosses this week to get them ready for Saturday’s race!

We considered racing during the week, but some of those days have tailwinds that don’t match the type of racing we’re aiming for in this series. Our goal is to give breeders a meaningful test of quality, endurance, and consistency—not simply chase fast, tailwind-assisted races.

📌 PAYMENT REMINDER
We’re still waiting on some participants to submit their payments. Please take care of any outstanding payments as soon as possible before the next race. Thank you to everyone who has already paid and continues to support the series!

As always, the weather and the birds’ readiness guide our final race-day decisions.

SEVEN RACES. ONE TRUE TEST. 🔴⚫
