Frank Zwiers (Breda) An established value on the marathon races in the Netherlands

04 Mar 2022

In spite of his young age, Frank belongs since a few years to the top of the Dutch marathon world. Frank is someone with a goal and knows how to combine a busy family life perfectly with his beloved pigeon sport. But, and this is how we know Frank, he prefers to specialize in 1 discipline and try to belong to the best than to be active on all fronts and then be labeled as a "follower". Frank Zwiers pigeons and very long distance...you can mention them in one breath.
