race's
Of the sprint
Race's is the possessive form of race.
It attributes something to a race—whether a competition the race's outcome was decided in the final lap, an ethnic or biological grouping the race's genetic diversity, or a contest for position the race's frontrunner dropped out.
Context determines which sense of race applies.
