Running a distance is the
most basic form of racing,
but races are often conducted
in vehicles, such as boats, cars and aircraft
,
or with animals such as horses.
A race may be run
continuously from start to finish or may be made
of several segments called heats or stages.
A heat is
usually run over the same course at different times. A
stage is a shorter section of a much longer course or a
time trial.
