Auction – IG Weitstrecke Long Distance & Marathon Club Germany

IG Weitstrecke Germany, a leading club in international long-distance and marathon racing, is organizing this year a special auction of elite pigeons aimed at financing the purchase of a new transporter to support participation in long-distance competitions.

The event brings together some of the most prestigious fanciers from Germany and across Europe, who responded to the invitation of Hugo Kipp and Wolfgang Thomann by donating young pigeons of exceptional quality, descended from world-renowned bloodlines.

The club extends its heartfelt thanks to all donors who contributed to this auction. The pigeons offered come from families with outstanding performances on Europe’s greatest marathon and long-distance stages — a true guarantee of success for future owners.

We wish you great success with your new acquisitions and outstanding results in the coming racing season!
