Contests between different peoples? (5)
I believe the answer is:
races
This clue could be a double definition.
'contests' is the first definition.
(race is a kind of contest)
'different peoples?' is the second definition.
'races' can be an answer for 'peoples?' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'different' bit.
'between' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for races that I've seen before include "Running competitions" , "Speed contests for horses, cars etc" , "Speed competitions for various peoples" , "Human groups" , "Sprint and marathon?" .)
