Competitions of swiftness
Races is the plural of race in its several senses.
Races are competitions of speed—foot races, horse races, car races.
She won three races this season.
The races means an event where horse or dog racing takes place: a day at the races.
Races also refers to categories of humans distinguished by ancestry, physical traits, or cultural identity—a concept now understood as socially constructed rather than biological: relations between the races.
To say someone races is to say they compete in speed contests or move very fast: He races motorcycles on weekends.
