The Spartanburg County
Racing Pigeon club is located in North Western South Carolina.
Centered around Spartanburg,
SC, we have members as far south
as Clinton, SC and as far north as Tryon,
NC.
We are sanctioned by the American Racing Union and we are a member
club of the Piedmont Racing
Pigeon Combine.
We are also members of the Dixie Southern Racing Pigeon Association and
in 2009 hosted the Annual Dixie Southern Convention held in Spartanburg, SC.
The Piedmont Racing Pigeon
Combine is a combination of clubs that compete against each other as a whole
and as individual clubs.
The ability to compete in the
combine increases the competition level and helps keep costs down. There are
