The story (or a segment/side plot) is about a race, or races in general. This works as a plot device for several reasons: The concept is readily understandable with little explanation required. Say there's a race in the offing, and you can immediately move on to explain the terms (i.e. the course, the prize, the rules). The concept is flexible, with a variety of ways to make the race a challenge and thereby add interest to the race itself. Such terms often include long distances, tough terrain, or some kind of imposed handicap (adhering to certain vehicle specifications, carrying a fragile/awkward object, or even hopping in a burlap sack). Racing in a variety of forms has a long pedigree; it may be Older Than Dirt. Yet despite its long history, racing never seems to go out of style, regardless of the changes in society and technology. Not only does the concept get applied to new means of transport as they are invented, but spectators still flock to see humans run in track meets, in what must be the most ancient form of transport that humans have used. A race provides a ready-made plot structure, with preparation (rising action), the action of the race itself, and the goal of the prize and the glory of victory (and possibly consequences) for the ending. Lots of useful tropes are associated with competition: plucky underdogs, rivalry, favorites, striving, cheating and so on. Racing is often a group effort, even if only one person is actually a contestant. Trainers, mechanics, financial backers, friends, family members all play their roles in the cast. This point also applies to human partnerships with animals (such as in horse racing) and even mechanized partners. A common feature is a long race with several "stations" where the racers go to rest. These stations often have a Good-Guy Bar. Races like this can go across unusual and difficult terrain and have the advantage of being able to dominate an entire movie. Super-Trope of Chariot Race, Wacky Racing and Epic Race. See also Tournament Arc and Big Game. Nothing to do with racial stereotypes. |

One of these happens in +Anima where the main character Cooro takes part in a race through a canyon designed for bird-like +Anima.

Cars: In the original movie, Lightning McQueen is a stock car. The film's climax occurs during a race. Cars 2 uses an international race as a backdrop for a James Bond-inspired Mistaken for Spies plot. Cars 3 uses the Florida 500 as the major final battle during the climax. Lightning has to win this race or he’ll have to retire from racing forever. The spin-off film, Planes has the Wings Around the Globe Rally that Dusty participates in. |

The Archie's RC Racers plotline was a cross-country RC car race between Archie and Reggie's teams, with Mr. Weatherbee, Ms. Grundy and Svenson as chaperones. Technically, the race ended in a tie, but since the pets of both teams were unwittingly riding the cars, the prizes were donated to an animal support foundation. A subplot was dealing with Beach Blanket Babbette, who owned a rival electronics company and wanted to stop the race so she could Start My Own. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has done this three times: In the episode "Fall Weather Friends", Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle participate in an annual race called the Running of the Leaves. Rainbow and Applejack are trying to prove who's the more athletic of the two. It turns out that they tie for last place because they focused on their rivalry instead the race. Twilight, on the other hand, ends up in fifth place. In the episode "May the Best Pet Win!", Rainbow Dash holds a race through Ghastly Gorge because she wants a fast pet that can keep up with her, and she claims that the pet that crosses the finish line with her wins. It isn't one of the speedy birds that won the race that becomes her pet - it's the turtle that insisted on participating and saved Rainbow when her wing was trapped beneath a boulder and carries her across the finish line. In the episode "Gauntlet of Fire", Dragon Lord Torch declares that according to dragon law, he must step down from his position as Dragon Lord, and summons various dragons, including Spike, to compete in a competition called The Gauntlet of Fire to determine his successor. Whichever dragon is able to navigate through the Flamecano and be the first to retrieve the Bloodstone Scepter wins and becomes the new Dragon Lord. Spike wins the race, but he passes the scepter and title of Dragon Lord to his new friend Ember. |

The The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids short story The Multi-Dimensional Race obviously features such a race as its main showpiece; it is, in this case, organized by the respective Sole Survivors of two races of aliens who have been at war for generations, as a way to finally, finally have a winner and call it a day. The protagonist is drafted in by the two as the judge. | |

The F-Zero franchise is all about races run by futuristic anti-gravity machines. The original F-Zero and X have minimal plot so they barely count, but F-Zero GX does have a story mode where races are important, particularly the one pictured as the page image. | |

In the Little Bear episode "Little Bear's Sweet Tooth", the sack race is the first game of the Harvest Day picnic. Mitzi cheats by swinging on the trees and is disqualified so Owl and Emily's Granny teach her a lesson. After this, the winners are Cat and Emily. | |

The second has Sean enter another Grand Prix race in Paris. This time, his car is laden with explosives so he can take out the Nazi high command. |

The How I Met Your Mother episode "Subway Wars" has the gang discover that Woody Allen has been spotted at a restaurant downtown and decide to go there to see him. They then get into a discussion about the fastest way to cross the city note Ted suggests the bus, Robin suggests a taxi, Lily suggests the subway, Marshall suggests running, and Barney keeps his plan (faking a heart attack and being taken to the nearest hospital by an ambulance) secret and hold a race to see whose method works best. Robin wins, but "Woody Allen" turns out to be Maury Povich. | |

Transformers: Cybertron: The planet Velocitron holds a racing tournament for the Planet Cup trophy; the trophy itself is one of the four Cyber Planet Keys and determines the planet's ruler. Given how many Transformers turn into cars, such a plot had to happen at some point. | |
