THE WESTERN MIDLANDS’ PREMIER
ONE LOFT RACE
Quality birds, Serious racing, Lifetime bragging rights
About the Race
Quality Birds.
Serious Racing.
The Mercian Masters One Loft Race is run under the strict rules of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association (RPRA). All birds are housed, trained, and liberated from a single, purpose-built loft in Warwickshire — ensuring a completely level playing field for every entrant.
From arrival in April through to liberation over the Channel in July, your bird is cared for by our experienced loft manager with professional-grade feed, veterinary oversight, and progressive training programmes.
