{| align=right | |- | |} A race is a competition of speed. The competitors in a race try to complete a given task in the shortest amount of time. Typically this involves traversing some distance, but it can be any other task. A race to cover a certain distance may be any length, and using any means stipulated by the rules. Running a distance is the most basic form of racing, but races are often conducted in vehicles, such as boats and automobiles, on or with animal such as horses and in aircraft. A race may be run continuously from start to finish or may be made of several segments called Heat (racing) or stages. A heat is usually run over the same course at different times. A stage is a shorter section of a much longer course or a Individual time trial. Early records of races are evident on pottery from ancient Greece, which depicted running men vying for first place. A chariot racing is described in Homer's ''Iliad''. == List of types of race == === Unassisted human racing === Using only the human body's own muscles: * Cross country running * marathon (sport) * Racewalking * Road running * Running * Track running in Athletics * Swimming ===Cycle racing === Bicycle racing: * Track cycling, such as a Points race * Road bicycle racing, such as the Tour de France * Offroad cycling or Mountain bicycling === Ski racing === Skiing with skis, on snow: * Alpine skiing such as Slalom skiing or Downhill skiing * Cross-country skiing === Animal racing === Animals alone, or with human riders on the animal's back or in a conveyance: * Camel racing * Dog racing ** Greyhound racing ** Dogsled racing, such as the Iditarod * Horse-racing, see also United Kingdom horse-racing and Equestrianism ** Chariot racing ** Flat racing ** Thoroughbred horse races, such as Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing or a Derby (horse race). ** Trotting ** Steeplechase * Pigeon racing * Pig racing ===Aircraft racing=== * Air racing === Motorized racing === Machines powered by motors, on land: * Auto racing (also known as ''automobile racing'', ''motor racing'' or ''autosport'') * Formula One, Formula Ford, GP2 Series (Replacement for Formula 3000) ** Grand Prix motor racing ** Production Car Racing ** Rally racing, Drifting ** Drag racing ** Sand Drag Racing ** Sports car racing ** Stock car racing, NASCAR, ** Open Wheel Racing, IndyCars, Champ Car ** dirt speedway racing ** Sprint Car Racing ** Offroad racing ** Touring car racing ** Truck racing * Kart racing * Motorcycle racing, such as the Isle of Man TT ** Motocross Racing ** Grand Prix motorcycle racing ** Pocketbike Racing ** Production Bike Racing ** Superbike racing * Snowmobile racing ("land" = land or frozen lakes/rivers) === Boat racing === Boats on water: * Dragon boat race * Hydroplane racing * Jet sprint boat racing * Offshore powerboat racing * Outrigger Canoe racing * Rowing * Sailing or Yacht racing also Match race such as America's Cup races or Team Racing. === Other types === In virtual reality, or in a videogame: * Chocobo Racing == Etymology == The word ''race'' comes from a Viking word.
