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:
“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)
“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
—Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
“Women are most fascinating between the ages of thirty-five and forty, after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass forty, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.”
—Christian Dior (1905–1957)
