The seven Contrade that did not compete in the Career of the previous year on the same date, July on July and August on August, run by right, while the other three are drawn by lot among the ten that instead had participated.

- CATERPILLAR
- PANTHER
- GOOSE

The departure takes place with a running horse (the tenth) which positioned outside the canape decides when to enter and start the race: sometimes this happens in a few minutes, but it can also last for hours depending on the situation between rival districts. Usually the running jockey decides to start the Palio when the horses of one or more rival districts are badly positioned, or when that of an allied district is in a favorable position. Once they have started, the horses – with or without a jockey – will have to make three clockwise laps around the square. In the race, ten of the seventeen districts into which the city of Siena is divided face each other in turn, so that none of them manages to skip two in a row (barring disqualifications).
