The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks has the Whip Race (located in a hidden area northeast of Whittleton), where Link has to clear an obstacle course with the help of his whip in a time limit.It's necessary to win against both Yeto and Yeta separately to claim the Piece of Heart. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has the Yeti race in Snowpeak.Downplayed with the Doggy Racetrack in Romani Ranch, as it's the dogs which participate in the race and Link can only bet which one is going to win (he can get reliable hints about the winner by using the Mask of Truth).

This Course One Way Only: Unlike the above, this actually does take place on its own map, designated for the race.The markers can range from a simple line on the ground to actually making the player lose if they don't pass through every ring. larger than your standard race course, the game will frequently provide some sort of "marker" to keep you on course, usually with penalties if you stray too far.
