A race in which riders or teams go around the track or course individually and the fastest time wins.
An attempt to have a horse beat its own best time in a non-competitive event. A time trial is not a race. Galloping horses hitched to sulkies, called prompters, are used to push a horse to its best effort.
Main article: time trial A race against the clock where riders are started separately (ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes apart). The winner of the race is determined by the fastest person across the course. No drafting may be employed in a time trial as it is a solo race event.[ edit
a race against the clock in which individual riders start at set intervals and cannot give or receive a draft.
A non-registered race in which a horse sets out to record a specific time, or to see exactly how fast it can run without having to deal with other runners as it would during a registered race. A pace-maker (often a galloper) will usually be sent out to help spur on the horse. A time trial simply means a performance by one horse against time.
A race in which riders start individually at given intervals, and race the course against the clock. Also known as "the race of truth."
A timed race in which the racers start one at a time and race against the clock. Some times trials measure the distance traveled in a set amount of time. Others measure the time it takes to cycle for a set distance.
An individual race against the clock, often called the "Race of Truth."
Often called the Race of Truth, a time trial pits a rider or a team against the clock. Individual time trials are grueling affairs, with each rider expending maximum effort.
A race in which riders start individually and race against the clock. The fastest over a set distance is the winner.
In many racing sports an athlete (or occasionally a team of athletes) will compete in a time trial against the clock to secure the fastest time. In cycling, for example, a time trial (TT) can be a single track cycling event, or an individual or team time trial on the road, and either or both of the latter may form components of multi-day stage races.
