Athletics

Hurdles, sport of athletics (track and field) in which a runner runs over a series of obstacles called hurdles, which are placed a fixed distance apart. Runners must stay in their own lanes in a race and while they can knock hurdles down when running over them, a runner who trails a foot or leg alongside a hurdle or knocks it down with a hand is disqualified. So, today I will share about the distance set out of hurdles and standard height of hurdles.
