Rivals

"A race always has competitors/rivals".

In any kind of race, whether it's a sports competition, a race between vehicles, or any other form of competitive event, there must always be participants who are competing against each other. These participants are commonly referred to as competitors or rivals.

The other options provided, such as "spectators" and "victory," are related to races but do not always hold true for every race. Not all races have spectators, especially in private or small-scale events, and not all races necessarily result in victory for one of the participants.
