IMPORTANT INFORMATION
After the last Hotspot 4. in which the race became very tough, and many late pigeons arrived, we understand that as preparation for HOTSPOT 5, which we intend to do at the next friday 13, it would be beneficial to do a training with few km, to give confidence to the pigeons for the return to the loft.
We understand that with the period of activations going on, wouldn't be doing the training, but we understand that it is necessary for pigeons.
So tomorrow Tuesday 10 September , we’ll be doing a 40/50 km training, wit basketing tonight.
We further report that if there are changes to any team with fewer pigeons , or any already activated pigeon is not in the basketing list for Hotspot 5, , we will return the money paid.
Thanks for understanding

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE 2024- HOTSPOT 3- MONFORTE, 207km- INFORMATION
- After consulting our meteorologist, Captain Fernando Garrido, and analyzing the weather forecast for this week, in order to schedule the 50km training and Hotspot 3, we came to the conclusion that the best day to hold Hotspot 3 will be Wednesday, August 28th, as rain and thunderstorms are expected in the release area and surroundings on Friday, August 30th.
- Checking the condition of the pigeons in the loft, and holding the 3rd Hotspot on the 28th, it was understood that the pigeons are fine, have recovered well, and the last pigeons to arrive received special attention in order to recover quickly.
- Although we understand that it would be good for the pigeons to rest for longer time, but between having it on Wednesday, August 28th, with good weather and waiting until Friday, August 30th and not being able to release the pigeons, or it could become a very difficult race, it was decided to hold Hotspot 3, on Wednesday, August 28th, with the release in Monforte, 207km, where the minimum temperature will be 15º and the maximum 33º.
- We regret that we cannot meet the scheduled dates, but the weather is unstable, as it is either high temperatures, or rain and thunderstorms, and so we have to manage the race day by day, or week by week.
Thank you for understanding.

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE 2024
1st HOTSPOT/ ACE PIGEON 2024 - August 13th - Monte Trigo 136km
We would like to inform you that after analyzing, together with the meteorologist, the weather conditions for this week, we found that tomorrow, Tuesday, August 13th, is the best day of the week with minimum temperatures of 17º and maximum temperatures of 31º at the release place, and on the way to the pigeon loft, so we will carry out the release in Monte Trigo, 136 km.

Some cloudiness is expected in the morning, so the release is scheduled for around 8.30 am, but temperatures at that time will still be 19/20º.

As the first HOTSPOT / OFFICIAL RACE and ACE PIGEON was scheduled for the 16th of August, and it will not be possible to release pigeons in the next 7/8 days due to the large increase in minimum temperatures of 21º and maximum temperatures of 40º in the entire area scheduled for the next releases, we will hold the first HOTSPOT / OFFICIAL RACE AND ACE PIGEON of 2024 tomorrow.

We apologize for the changes in dates, but with the very high temperatures, we have to manage the race almost day by day.
Thank you for understanding

 8TH TRAINING 2024, BEJA 100KM

We inform you that after consulting the weather conditions for the next few days, we found that the best day to carry out the 8th training session in 2024 is tomorrow, Friday the 9th of August 2024, with release in Beja, 100km.
-The maximum temperature predicted for tomorrow in the release area and loft is 38º, but as the sky will be clear, and we intend to release at 7 am the temperature will still be 18º, with 25º at 9am and 32º at 11am.
- As we expect that the first pigeons will take around 1.20 hours to arrive at the loft, and that all the pigeons will arrive in a maximum of 2 hours, the temperatures are not ideal, but they are acceptable for the release.

Now you can see the releases and arrivals live on our yuotube channel

29/7/2024- GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE 2024 - INFORMATION 5TH TRAINING - 35KM

- We inform you that the 5th training session of 2024 will take place on Wednesday, July 31st, at a distance of 35km, and not tomorrow, Tuesday, as scheduled, due to the forecast of fog in the morning in the release area until 11/12 am, which means that at that time it is no longer possible to hold the release, as the temperature will already be 33º in the release area.
We will therefore try to release on Wednesday morning at 7 am, and temperatures are forecast at that time to be 18º.
Thank you for understanding

Thanks

20/7/2024- THIS WEEK TRAININGS

 According to schedule and information, the second 2024 training session took place last Saturday, June 20, at a distance of 20km, in which the pigeons were released in 3 parts, and in all parts they quickly left the release place. and they flew direct to loft .
So we inform you that this week we will do the following trainings:
- Tuesday 23rd July - 25km training - Release in 3 parts (no classification)
- July 25th, Thursday - 25 km training - Joint release (with classification)
- July 27th, Saturday - 40 km training - Joint release (with classification)

19/7/24- 20 KM TRAINING TAKES PLACE ON 7/20/2024

We inform  that the 20 km training will take place on Saturday, July 20th, with basketing on Friday night, July 19th.

TRAINING 10KM JULY 18, 2024

Good morning, according to our information a few days ago, on our Facebook, on our website and sent an email to all participants explaining that like last year we had some problems with the pigeons in the first training sessions, as the pigeons did not leave the place of release, and this year we thought about releasing in 3 parts, in the first 3 training sessions, which happened, and it went very well, as the pigeons quickly left the release location and arrived at the loft quickly.
Benzing was turned on and tested, and it also went well, but as the release was not with all pigeons together, it would not be correct to put the ratings online, so everything is ready to put ratings online when we release the pigeons all together, which we think could happen in the third or maximum fourth training, as we will see the behavior of the pigeons in the next training session in which they will also be released in 2 parts.
Thank you for understanding
Org AGR

TRAINING JULY 18, 2024

Due to a problem with the truck transporting the pigeons, it was not possible to carry out the training today, but the problem was resolved today afternoon  by the mechanics and tomorrow night we will basket the pigeons and release them on Thursday.
This week we intend to do the 2 scheduled training sessions.

Thankyou

 Once the Benzing chips are attached to the pigeons in the loft, you can click on the link and see the list of pigeons entered in the loft, 7302, for the 2024 edition.

Unfortunately, around 300 do not have a CHIP attached, which indicates that they are not in the loft, as they did not survive the period of quarantine and preventive treatments, vaccination and first flights around the loft. We are sorry but we did our best.

If you have any questions or requests for clarification, please send an email to - golden.race.algarve@gmail.com

START OF TRAINING 2024

We inform you that we will start training for 2024 next Tuesday, July 16th, with basketing on Monday night, with the following changes in relation to previous years;

The pigeons will be released in 3 parts with around +- 2430 pigeons at a time,  15 minuts separated,  as we have seen that in previous years when the pigeons have been released all together (around 7000) the pigeons have had difficulty leaving the release site, as When several flocks form, the pigeons begin to circle around and do not leave. We don't know if this is right, but we're going to try this year in the first 3 training sessions to release in 3 parts, first the right side of the truck, then the left side, and then the 2nd truck.
We will film live the releases and arrival of the pigeon at loft, but there will be no classifications, as you will understand.

PEDIGREES
We inform all participants to send their pedigrees to the office address as quickly as possible, and we remind you that if pigeons do not have a pedigree, the owners are not entitled to %% of the sale at auction.
Many participants deliver their pedigrees on the day of the final race in Monte Gordo, but we inform  that  due to the high number of pedigrees delivered, we were unable to find and digitize the pedigrees in the first auctions.

The pigeons classified between 31st and 60th are auctioned the day after the final race, so the pedigrees must be sent to the GPLOFT Auctions website after the arrival of the pigeons, so pedigrees  delivered on the day of the final will not be placed in the auction. , as there is no possibility of searching among the hundreds that are normally delivered to us, and of digitizing them, as all the Organization's staff is involved in the day's events, and thus the owners do not receive a percentage of the sale, which is why we requested to send to the following address by post (originals), or by email - pedigreesalgarve@gmail.com, until September 26th.

PORTALEGRE RACE & ACE PIGEON, 230 KM- WINNER HARALD BELOW
RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/29866?tab=three

The 3rd official Portalegre race took place yesterday, September 13th, 230 km, in which the release was carried out at 11.15 am, due to the fact that in the morning there was a lot of fog in the release area and on the flight line to the loft.
After being released, the pigeons divided into several groups, some quickly leaving the area and others taking some more time to orient themselves and leave.
The pigeons arrived at the loft in small groups, very high and with great speed. They are ready for the next races.
The winning pigeon belongs to Harald Below, and arrived at the loft a few seconds ahead of others, entering quickly.

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE ORGANIZATION - INFORMATION SECOND OFFICIAL RACE & ACE PIGEON 2023.
- Org AGR hereby informs that it has decided to cancel the second official 2023 race, which was scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday 6th September 2023, and will be held in the next few days.
According to information from the Instituto Portugues do mar e da Atmosfera IPMA, there were several earthquakes in the Algarve today and this afternoon in the region of Évora, the release area, there was another earthquake, and according to our experience of more than 30 years in releasing pigeons, Whenever there are earthquakes in the pigeon release areas, or surrounding areas, there are large losses of pigeons, as it is known that earthquakes alter the earth's magnetic field, and the pigeons lose their orientation, which causes immense losses.
So we regret if we are wrong, and we take responsibility for what we have just said, because experience tells us that.
INFORMATION ON THE IPMA WEBSITE
IPMA: 3 earthquakes recorded in the Algarve and one in Évora
09/5/2023 at 18:20
An earthquake with magnitude 2.6 on the Richter scale was recorded today at 3:47 pm in the Évora area, reported the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA).
The earthquake, with an epicenter located around eight kilometers west of Évora, was recorded at the Continente Seismic Network stations, IMPA said in a statement.
This earthquake, according to the information available from IPMA, until the statement was issued, “did not cause personal or material damage and was felt with maximum intensity IV (modified Mercalli scale) in the municipality of Évora”.
“It was also felt with less intensity in the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo (Évora)”, according to the statement, adding that, if the situation warrants it, new statements will be issued.
“Locating the epicenter of an earthquake is a complex physical and mathematical process that depends on the data set, algorithms and seismic wave propagation models,” added the institute.
According to IPMA, “different agencies may produce slightly different results. Likewise, preliminary determinations are usually corrected later, by integrating more information”.
This morning and morning, other earthquakes had been recorded affecting the Algarve.
The earthquake was registered at 01:49, with an epicenter located 98 kilometers south-southwest of Faro, IPMA said in a statement.
The shock “was felt with maximum intensity III (modified Mercalli scale) in the Albufeira region”, added the institute.
At 10:17 another earthquake was felt in the ocean, measuring 3.7 on the Richter scale and which was felt in the south of Portugal and also in Spain.
At 16:41 the earth shook again in the Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Cabo de S. Vicente. A shock that will also have been felt in some areas of the Algarve. This earthquake had an intensity of 3.1 on the Richter scale and was recorded, according to IPMA, at a depth of 30 km.

EN- SECOND OFFICIAL RACE & ACE PIGEON 2023- MONFORTE 205 KM- INFO
The Algarve Golden Race Organization informs that it was not possible to hold the race on the scheduled date due to the last race being held last Monday and many pigeons returning in the following days and not having recovered to run the race today.
So we will hold the second race next week, but we have to wait a few more days to be able to inform the correct day, as according to information from our meteorologist, next week will be a week with some days of heavy rain and fog in the area predicted for the race. release, and throughout the flight area to the loft, we therefore have to find the right day, and this is only possible 1 or 2 days before.
We will provide information as soon as we know.

8th TRAINING 2023, AMARELEJA-115KM
RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18?tab=flights

The 8th training session of 2023 took place on Saturday the 19th of August, with release in Amareleja, close to the border with Spain, as fog and low clouds were expected in the more central area of country. As expected, on the morning of the release, there was a corridor along the flight line, and up to Monte Gordo with good visibility and no fog, which led us to carry out the release.
We now see that something did not go well, as many pigeons were missing, assuming that we do not know why, as everything indicated that training would go well, we think that some group of pigeons moved further to the center of the country, entering the foggy area and they couldn't get out.
We regret what happened, and we will recover and prepare the pigeons for the next flights.
Since this week the maximum temperatures are above 40º, and the minimums are also very high, we will wait, and we will let you know the day of the next flight.
Thank you for understanding.

- 8TH TRAINING 2023- SATURDAY AUGUST 19- 115KM
With an increase in temperatures expected for the next week, for the area scheduled for the releases, and being in daily contact with the Meteorologist, Org AGR decided to carry out the next training session tomorrow, Saturday, August 19th, since the pigeons were not subjected to great effort in the last training, and recovered well.
The release is scheduled for a distance of between 115 and 120 km, as only tomorrow morning will we know exactly the best place for the release, as low clouds and some fog are expected in some areas where the release may occur, with indications that it may there will be some areas without, or with little morning fog.
So let's basket the pigeons tonight and try to release them tomorrow.

RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/28792?tab=three
The Release of the 7th training was scheduled for Beja, 100 km, but when we arrived at the release place, we verified the existence of low clouds and some fog in the area. After waiting some time at the place, we found that despite there being some wind, the clouds and fog were not decreasing, so after contacting the meteorologist we decided to move the trucks to another location, where it would be possible to carry out the release.
The release was carried out in Vale Açor, 80km away, and the pigeons left the area quickly after being released, as there was good visibility.
The pigeons arrived at the loft, first in a large group, then in small groups.

RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/28684?tab=three

On Sunday, August 13, the sixth training session of 2023 took place with the release of pigeons in Mertola, at a distance of 50 km.
We chose to release it in the same place as the previous training session, as the previous one was a difficult training one, we understood that to give confidence to the pigeons, we should not go too far.
The release was made at 7.30 am, with clear skies and northwest wind and with a temperature of 18 degrees, which by 11 am would reach 25 degrees, which was very good for the month of August in Portugal.
The pigeons after the release were divided into several groups, as has happened in previous releases, and once again a group of pigeons spent some time flying in the area, only leaving the release site some time later.
The arrival took place in several groups, large and small.

The 6th training session of 2023 was scheduled for tomorrow, the 9th of August 2023, but after contact with the official meteorologist, and due to the atmospheric conditions forecast for tomorrow with a minimum temperature of 23º and a maximum of 43º, it is not possible to carry out the training, leaving canceled until conditions are good, which is expected to happen from next Saturday, August 12th.
We also inform you that if the temperatures allowed us to carry out the training, this would not be possible as we currently have 15 large fires in Portugal, and 1 of the largest at about 80 km from the loft, which causes the air to be polluted with smoke and sparks, which also would not allow training.
As soon as possible we will inform about the realization of the Vale de Açor training

 Fifth training 2023 with release in Mertola 50 km.
Yesterday the fifth training 2023 took place with the release of pigeons in Mertola, at a distance of 50 km. The release was held at 7.30 am, with clear skies and zero wind and with a temperature of 21 degrees, which we knew would rise quickly and that by 9 am it would already be 28 degrees, but normaly the pigeons would be by that time in the loft , as we estimated a 40-minute flight.
Happened that after the release, the various groups that formed quickly left the place, except for a group of about 1000 pigeons that continued to circle around the release place, not being able to orientate themselves for a long time, and that with the increase in temperature, which during the day reached 38 degrees, led to many not returning to the loft.
We are now recovering the returnees well, and studying how to manage out the next training sessions because next week temperatures are expected to reach 41 degrees.
We will inform you of the decisions we make.

INFORMATION ABOUT BASKETING FOR TRAININGS.

The Golden Race Organization informs that due to the high temperatures expected for the next training sessions, and with the high number of pigeons to be basketed in Benzing, basketing lasts several hours, as well as we want to basket the pigeons as late as possible, when it's less hot, we can't be passing the pigeons through the basket one by one in the benzing, and we don't see any interest in that, because all the pigeons that are in the loft have a chip assigned, so they will register on arrival.
So in training, we will basket the pigeons directly into the transport boxes, and all the pigeons that go to training, when they arrive, register in the arrivals benzing system.

We also inform you that when the official HOT SPOTS races start, on August 25th, the pigeons will no longer be basketed directly into the transport boxes, and all will be basketed and registered in the benzing system one by one.

EN- SECOND TRAINING 2023- MONTE FRANCISCO 5km                                                   RESULTS- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/27502?tab=three

One more training at a short distance from the loft, but which will get the pigeons used to what will be their routine until the grand finale on September 30, which is, training, resting, basketing, car transport, and release. The first 2 steps are taken, and next Saturday they will train at 10 km.
In today's training and after the release, the pigeons separated into some groups and arrived at the loft in large groups, with the exception of the first pigeon that already last week arrived with some headway and quickly entered the loft.

FIRST TRAINNING 2023 AERODROME 3 KM
Today, the first training session of 2023 took place at an Aerodrome, 3 km from the loft.
- The training helped the pigeons to get used to the baskets, to being inside the truck one night and being released for the first time without being in the loft.
- Some pigeons flew just a few minutes, others a little longer, and arrived in large groups at the loft.
- Thus began the learning process on the way to the Bragança Grand Final on 30 September 2023.

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE- MILLION EURO PIGEON RACE.
LIST OF PIGEONS THAT ARE IN THE LOFT ON JULY 14, 2023

LOFT LIST- https://oneloftrace.live/lofts/18/flights/27304?tab=two

After we finish assigning the benzing chips to all the pigeons that were in the loft on the 14th of July, we publish the list.
In the first training we will check all the washers, to see if any pigeons lost in the first flights around the loft have returned, and we will assign a benzing chip.
Unfortunately, of the 7,307 registered pigeons, and after the quarantine period, vaccinations, preventive treatments and the first flights around the loft, 407 pigeons will not start training, which we regret, but we did our best, so 6,900 are ready to start the long walk to the Bragança final on September 30, 2023.
Personal accounts will be updated in the next 2 days with pigeons and money payable and paid.
Because the AGR does not show the pigeons' ring number, only the pigeon's name and code, participants can LOGIN to their account, to see which ring corresponds to the code visible in Benzing.
Good luck to everyone
