# Introduction

Make no mistake about it: koins LOVE to compete against each other. Their minds are always on the track and it’s your duty as an owner to make them run so they’re happy!

Eight koins can participate in a race at the same time, competing for who will cross the finish line first.

The tracks where koins run past each other are called trackuariums, and they can be owned by players. To learn more, visit the [Trackuariums](/races/trackuariums.md) section.

The performance of your koin in the races depends on several factors, among them the properties of the trackuarium in which the race is held and the value of empathy that we have with the koin. Discovering these modifiers is part of the strategy to be the best trainer.
