Hurdles

Hurdles is a track and field event where athletes race while jumping over a series of evenly spaced barriers called hurdles. The race is typically run on a straight track, and athletes must clear each hurdle without knocking it over. The height and distance between hurdles vary based on the level of competition and gender. Hurdles tests both speed and agility, as athletes must maintain their pace while clearing obstacles. It is a popular event in sprinting competitions, including the 100m or 110m hurdles for men and 100m or 400m hurdles for women.
