raceway

Oval for speedsters

A raceway is a channel or passage for water, especially one directing flow to a mill wheel or turbine.

In aquaculture, it's a narrow tank where fish are raised in flowing water.

The term also applies to a track for racing—cars, horses, or dogs.

In electrical work, a raceway is a conduit or trough that encloses and protects wiring: The electrician ran cable through the raceway.
