Jan de Wijs - (The Pigeon Boss)
The Marlbank One Loft Race in South Africa has already cemented itself as one of the most exciting stages in the international pigeon sport. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Heron Banks Golf Course in Sasolburg, Marlbank is more than a race. It is a showcase of stamina, speed, and the unbreakable spirit of our sport.
The Final Derby Moldova 2025 is complete and it was nothing short of spectacular. On September 16th at 07:30 AM, 482 pigeons were released from Bulgaria for the ultimate test: a grueling 502 km back to Moldova. With clear skies and perfect weather, the stage was set for a true clash of titans.
When a loft of this calibre opens its doors, the entire pigeon racing world pays attention. Markus and Thomas Lecke, known for building one of the strongest collections of Thys pigeons in Belgium, are now offering their entire colony for sale due to serious health issues. While this is a personal setback for the fanciers, it is also a rare opportunity for the global racing pigeon community.
Irving Van Oss is unstoppable! After closing a top season in the Netherlands, his pigeons are now excelling on the international stage. This time in AFRIKAPRO, where he has taken the lead in the Blue Jacket competition – the prestigious battle for the best ace pigeon across all races.
On Saturday, September 6th, Section 6 released 1927 racing pigeons from Toury. At 09:00 the baskets opened for a distance of 499 kilometers towards Aalsmeer and beyond. The winner was clocked at 15:07:51 with an impressive average speed of 1357.613 meters per minute.

Barcelona isn’t just a race — it’s the race.

The countdown has begun. Barcelona… prepare yourself.
If you want to give your marathon pigeons a natural performance boost, Herbovet Herbobeets is the perfect addition to their diet. This concentrated beet juice is one of the top products for improving endurance and recovery in pigeons. I’ve been using beet juice for years and have seen firsthand how it enhances oxygen efficiency and speeds up recovery after long flights.
Last Wednesday, I loaded up a group of pigeons and drove to Steenbergen for a training toss. Everything seemed perfect — blue skies, a light tailwind, and a basket full of eager wings. But when I got back home, I noticed something was off. Three of the birds didn’t return on time. They came back eventually, but much later than expected, and visibly tired.
Now, most fanciers would chalk it up to a tough day and move on. But here at my loft, every pigeon gets the attention it deserves — not just physically, but mentally too. And believe me, that mental side is massively underestimated in the pigeon sport.
