Making a running race with events and NPCs

[ItachiVolcanion]

So, I decided to create more contest, this contest called "Bicycle Tour"
Other contestant (NPC) will automatically running, when they touch the finishing lines, they will win.
If player touch the finishing lines first, player will win.
However, it hard to make event touch other event , or make them run with player at the same times. Help me, please.

I actually have a similar situation. There's a point in my game where other trainers are going to be scared of the player. I would like to make it so that they are triggered by the player walking across the line in front of the trainer, like normal trainers are. But then, rather than pausing the player, walking up to them, and battling them...I want the event to run away from the player but still allow the player to go about their merry way simultaneously.

Well, actually I have already made that, like making pokemon turn away but still battle . However, it isn't the race, it just like a "thief-catcher" contest ..... So, please help me!
