Masters 180 Yard Low Hurdles
180 Yard Low Hurdles Height & Spacing:
30” high low hurdles, 20 yards from the starting line to the first hurdle, each hurdle
is spaced 20 yards apart, and 20 yards from the last hurdle to the finish line.
Total of eight hurdles (per lane).
The Race:
The 180 yard low hurdles were a common high school track and field event before the
mid 1970’s. High schools later replaced this event with the 330 yard & 300 meter
hurdles.
My suggestion: do not stutter-step.
