Encyclopedia > 110 metres hurdles

The 110m Hurdles are an Olympic track and field athletics discipline run by men. For the race ten hurdles of a height of 1.067 m (3-1/2 feet) are placed evenly spaced along a straight course of 110 meters. They are positioned so that they will fall over if bumped into by the runner. Fallen hurdles do not count against runners so long as they do not run into them on purpose. Like the 100 meter sprint the 110m Hurdles is started out of the blocks.

History

Alvin Kraenzlein

For the first hurdles races in England around 1830, wooden barriers were placed along a stretch of 100 yards. The first standards were attempted in 1864 in Oxford and Cambridge: The length of the course was set to 120 yards (109.72 meters) and over its course runners were required to clear ten 3-1/2 foot (1.06m) high hurdles. After the length of hurdles races was rounded up to 110 meters in France from 1888 on, the standards were pretty much complete except for Germany where hurdles of 1 meter height were used until 1907.
