Answer by Angelmass. Confidence votes 279. For the 110m hurdles, the first hurdle is placed after a run up of 13.72m (45 ft) from the starting line. The next nine hurdles are set at a distance of 9.14m (30 ft) from each other, and the home stretch from the last hurdle to the finish line is 14.02m (46 ft) long.
The two shorter distances take place on the straight of a running track, while the 400 m version covers one whole lap of a standard oval track. Events over shorter distances are also commonly held at indoor track and field events, ranging from 50 meters hurdles upwards. Women historically competed in the 80 meters hurdles at the Olympics in the mid-20th century. Hurdles race are also part of combined events contests, including the decathlon and heptathlon.
