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:
“This Administration has declared unconditional war on poverty and I have come here this morning to ask all of you to enlist as volunteers. Members of all parties are welcome to our tent. Members of all races ought to be there. Members of all religions should come and help us now to strike the hammer of truth against the anvil of public opinion again and again until the ears of this Nation are open, until the hearts of this Nation are touched, and until the conscience of America is awakened.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The so called white races are really pinko-grey.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“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)
