The term 'QUICK RACE' can be broken down into two crossword solutions: SPRINT (6 letters) and HUNDREDYARDDASH (15 letters). A SPRINT is a type of race in which participants run a short distance, usually between 100 and 400 meters. A hundredyarddash is a type of race in which participants run a distance of 100 yards, which is approximately 91 meters. Both types of races are considered to be quick races due to their short distances.
