Do you capitalize the word 'race'?

In general, the word "race" is not capitalized unless it is used as part of a proper noun or at the beginning of a sentence. For example, if you are referring to a specific race such as the Boston Marathon or the Daytona 500, then "race" would be capitalized. Additionally, if "race" is the first word in a sentence, it should be capitalized. However, when used in a general sense to describe a competition or a category of people, such as "horse race" or "human race," it is not capitalized.
