Races
There are two competitions on a single day. The Coppa Terme, on a distance of 1.600 metres, has its starting line at the beginning of Viale delle Terme and its finish line at the entrance of the spa building. The Carrera Autopodistica, the main event, takes place in the heart of the historical city centre of the town, with the starting and finish lines in Piazza XX Settembre: the distance covered is 1.250 metres long and it is repeated twice.

Famous quotes containing the word races:
“Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Now different races and nationalities cherish different ideals of society that stink in each other’s nostrils with an offensiveness beyond the power of any but the most monstrous private deed.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“The so called white races are really pinko-grey.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
