The 2025 racing season is in full swing, and some of the branches have already reached the middle-distance races, races with a distance of more than 350 km.

In recent years, Maricel Iordache has managed to rise into the pigeon racing elite of Mehedinți County. A few seasons ago, together with his racing partner Adrian Adăscăliței, he achieved exceptional results at the national level. Even after the “Iordache + Adăscăliței” partnership came to an end, Maricel Iordache continued to perform at a very high competitive level. Since he began racing in 2008, not a
