Race Day, or Day At The Races, is an Alliance only event in which Elves, Humans, Dwarves and Gnomes compete in various speed competions for prizes and the renown of all Azeroth! The event was initiated by Xala, and is hosted by the Talah Adore Alshar. There are Nine Trophies to be won, each one sponsored by an individual or Guild of the Alliance. There are suggested entry 'donations', but after the first event Xala has decided that these are not mandatory, as Prizes and Refreshments are often supplied by sponsoring guilds and prominent philanthropists. The Event Location varies depending on the race type, and the races are based in various main cities of the Alliance.
