handicap race

Could someone tell me what a handicap race is?

I saw this:

The Nielsen Challenge is a monthly 2-mile handicap race, organized by
the Pikes Peak Road Runners. It's held on the first Saturday of each
month at 8:00 am. This is a low-key event and usually gets around 20-50
participants. It's FREE, with race day sign up only.

It doesn't look like it's for handicapped people.

Anyone they allow Doug Freese to participate in.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day
the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the
White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

but George W. Bush has managed to overcome that presumption."

Runners are assigned different start times based upon WAVA tables which
reflect top performances for each age group. In theory, if all of the
runners were equally fit, everyone would cross the finish line at the same
time.
