In the FIAPBT we preferred not to
place our credit inside the historical pictures, since we considered that it is
a way to spoil it, diminishing the fan enjoying and would damage to an
historical value, which is patrimony and
inheritance of the own breed.

"APBT HISTORY AND RIDDLES GAME" MAURICE CARVERS MUSEUM
GENETIC AND GRAPH STUDY OF THE BESTS PIT BULL OF ALL THE TIMES
The history from MarathonPit By Mariano Peinado.
Given my liking to the races of athletics of
long distance, in 2005 I had the idea to leave to run with my American Pit Bull
Terrier (APBT) called Villa Liberty´s
"Patches". The experience was very pleasing and
satisfactory for both.
Therefore, I thought will create athletics competitions with APBT forming an equipment of two individuals (human & dog) so that the APBT helped to the athlete during the competition and did not
feel alone and nor would become bored in the training,
at the same time the animal will be happy exercising themselves and
accompanying with its better friend the human.
This new modality Work - Sport, I
denominates like "MarathonPit".
The objective of the "MarathonPit", is
to offer a new alternative to develop by the dogs of the fans of the APBT, this
way we guided by healthful, positive and sport ways to the APBT, their owners
and fans.
Another one of the important objectives of the "MarathonPit",
is that it makes one magnifies self-defense in the
APBT, since everything what surrounds to athletics enjoys very good image
facing the society. In this case, the APBT when being within this Work - Sport, benefits from this positive
image, which and given the negative circumstances that surround to our
wonderful and noble breed dog in the times of the present time, is not for far
from negligible.
After about 20 days that I have
invented the MarathonPit in
2005, I had certainty of the existence of a similar
modality in which they were used all type of dogs, denominated like “Canicross”. The “Canicross” is a modality derived from mushing (shot of sleigh with dogs) and studying this
modality, at the time helped me for to give form more quickly to the MarathonPit, finding us nowadays that the MarathonPit is rather more complete in which to regulation (Rules) than the “Canicross”. The MarathonPit is a work-sport
discipline that consist of running with a APBT tied to the waist with a
scaling belt and an elastic firing line that goes until the harness of the
animal.
In order to practice it, a harness is only
needed shot for the dog (they are not valid those of stroll nor those of drag weight),
an elastic firing line and a belt of scaling for the runner, this belt is the
more wide to protect the back of the runner of the pulls of the dog.
You can make MarathonPIt to compete or simply
practicing it like sport in which to share time and experiences with your
companion, for to consolidate your relation. The ideal is to go to the
field to train, but if it is not possible, also it is possible to be practiced
in a park in the city.
The binomial man-APBT makes this sport specially attractive, that only the one that practices it
can describe.
When the APBT practice the "MarathonPit" show
his or her "Game", developing it effective and positively,
since when the animal is exhausted, by the simple reason to please and to help
to his human companion of run, find forces for to continue helping to his
companion and positively finish the entrusted work, although will be very hard
the circumstances for their accomplishment.
The idea of the "MarathonPit" was very well welcomed by the
Spanish fans and of other countries and this being practiced nowadays by many
fans, being a sport in rise that day to day goes to more. It is an excellent
activity, in that we put at the same time in form to our APBT that to we ourself. Making the "MarathonPit", we developed a high level of
mutual understanding with our dogs, creating a degree of complicity with the
animal very high, only the people that practices "MarathonPit"
can get to include/understand.
I consider, that the MarathonPit (work-sport), is going to be something very beneficial for the positive image of the
APBT. In addition, it will serve like reference to follow for the young people
when they begin with his first APBT, obtaining in this way a very healthful
relation for the dogs as for his owners and fans. Also I try, which this
modality work-deports serves like datum point for the breeders of this
breed dog, to value his respective dogs that compete in the MarathonPit and reflecting if they are developing his breeding of
a suitable way or no.
For these reasons,
will be very much interesting for the breed and for the fans, owners, breeders
and clubs go ahead and promote this modality alltogether,
since the APBT needs that good image there this where this (given the unjust
persecution that suffers), since I understand that the MarathonPit is going to contribute
to enough good things to the APBT and their fans through the sport.
The FIAPBT, wishes to integrate in their rows clubs of MarathonPit of different countries, so that there are enough
competitions of this new modality and in a term of prudent time, when this
modality already is seated, to once arrange to the year a Championship of
the World, to value the level of the APBT in this discipline in all this
countries.
The FIAPBT, wishes to form National and International Officials clubs of MarathonPit. If you are interested in to create your own Oficial Club of MarathonPit of your place, contact with the
