Types of Running Races
Aboriginal Australians: Aboriginal Australians are legally defined as people who are members "of the Aboriginal race of Australia" (indigenous to the Australian continent—mainland Australia or to the island of Tasmania).
But remember the fundamental insight, Arthur Lydiard's great contribution, that distance running is an aerobic sport and that the best way to build aerobic strength is through steady, aerobic running, not by racing, blasting 200s, or grinding out race-pace kilometers.
What is important in the debate on the origins of, and diversity among, population groups of Homo sapiens is to establish what cannot, and should not, be derived from the various DNA evidence used to support the KhoiSan-as-first-people hypothesis.
The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid or Europid) is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, which, depending on which of the historical race classifications used, have usually included some or all of the ancient and modern populations of Europe, the Caucasus, Asia Minor, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia and South Asia.
The Nostalgia Drag Racing League (NDRL) based in Brownsburg, IN, runs a series of 1/4 mile (402m) drag races in the Midwest for 1979 and older nostalgic appearing cars, with four classes of competition running in an index system.
Drifting started as an underground activity on the mountain roads of Japan, has developed into a high profile professional sport in that country and over the last 2 years it has exploded in popularity throughout the world. In 2006 the movie “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” offers a view of the underground drift races held in Japan.
Fartlek is Swedish for "speed play," and that is exactly what it’s all about. Unlike tempo and interval work, fartlek is unstructured and alternates moderate-to-hard efforts with easy throughout. After a warmup, you play with speed by running at faster efforts for short periods of time (to that tree, to the sign) followed by easy-effort running to recover.
#2: Long Hill Repeats Two-time Olympic 1500m gold medalist Seb Coe maintained his off-season fitness by running circuits on a bicycle path that included an 800m hill section: 400m of steady uphill, 100m of level recovery, 250m of steep uphill and, finally, 50m of slight downhill.
In track races, hurdles are normally between 68–107 cm in height (or 27-42 inches), and vary depending on the age and gender of the hurdler. Events from 50 to 110 meters are technically known as high hurdles races, while longer competitions are low hurdles races.
1) The intervals must complement the distance mileage training (i.e., a runner needs to identify what is missing from the mileage running). 2) The type of workouts must suit the runner both physiologically and psychologically.
Karting is a great family sport and is a fun way for all ages to go racing. Most kart clubs or tracks offer the following age divisions: 5-7 years old: Commonly referred to as "Kid Karts" in the U.S. and also referred to as "Baby Karts" these are usually powered by a small (50cc) 2-stroke engine similar to what you'd find on a chain saw.

Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least eight kilometres (5 miles). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength.
Middle-distance running events are track races longer than sprints, up to 3000 metres. The standard middle distances are the 800 metres, 1500 metres and mile run, although the 3000 metres may also be classified as a middle-distance event.

Progression runs were once called the Kenyan secret. They're great for building stamina, mental strength, and teaching the body to run increasingly faster at the end of a race. A progression run is a run with structured pace increases from beginning to end. The distance and pace will vary based on your specific training goals.
In a recovery run you start fatigued from your last key workout and therefore experience a healthy dose of fatigued running without having to run hard or far. For this reason, although recovery runs are often referred to as “easy runs,” if they’re planned and executed properly they usually don’t feel very easy.
A relay race is a racing competition where members of a team take turns completing parts of racecourse or performing a certain action. Relay races take the form of professional races and amateur games. Relay races are common in running, orienteering, swimming, cross-country skiing, biathlon, or ice skating. In the Olympic Games, there are several types of relay races that are part of track and field.
Short distance races include the 100 meter, 400m, and 800m—sprint distances traditionally raced on a track. Most recreational runners do not compete in short distances races, as these are generally in the domain of high school, college, and professional track and field.
He also recommends inserting periods of AT running into long runs—say, two 20-minute tempo runs bookending an easy one-hour run—something a marathoner might do bi-weekly in the latter stages of race preparation.
There are different disciplines in auto racing; whilst they could be considered as types, different factors still decide the categories in racing (Factors such as car types, tracks and rules): *Open wheel- regarded as pinnacle of motoracing, F1 (Formula 1) is included in this type; others competitions like Indycar, F2, F3, GP2 series, Formula Renault etc. also exhibit open wheel formulas. They often race on circuits (called GP on higher tiers) and sometimes on Nascar style ovals.
