Copying value of char pointer array to char array

This is for a simple game and I am trying to learn how to apply C++ in an existing project (that's how I learn best), I have experience programming in C# and other high level languages so it is quite new to me still. So I have this list of races:

const char* Races[] = {
   "Demon",
   "Human",
   "Elf",
   "Orc",
   "Aliens"
};

At one point I receive the registration of a user and a race is selected. I save away all the information of the user to a struct and I want to save the full name of the race to this struct as well.

struct User_t {
   unsigned int RaceID;
   char Race[16];
};

The following code is what I got to put the values inside the struct:

User_t User;

User.RaceID = 3;
strcpy(User.Race, Races[User.RaceID]);

This, however, does not work. This is part of a game and the exception handling is horrible (it basically crashes the game without any error visible). I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions, perhaps suggestions on other things as well?
