We have two kind of hurdle races that involve laps. The first is the 400 hurdles, which is a one lap race with 4 hurdles (36" for men, 30" for women, 33" for men over age 50).
The second race involves multiple laps over barriers (hurdles that do not fall over). That is called the steeplechase, normally a 7 and a half lap race over 5 barriers per lap, with the 4th barrier per lap over a water jump inside or outside of the track. Barriers do not fall down, instead the steeplechaser can step on the barrier (though the top runners, usually from Kenya, do not touch the barriers and can keep their feet dry).
In the Womens' 100 Meter Hurdle Race and the Men's 110 Meter Hurdle Race, there are 10 hurdles. In the 300 Meter Hurdle Run, there are 8 hurdles. In the 400 Meter Hurdle Run, there are 10 hurdles.

If your coach said that you are good at hurdles and you want to participate in the 80m hurdle race, don't back out. If you are good at jumping hurdles and have not fallen before, there is no reason to be scared of fallen while participating in the race.
The 200m hurdle distances are: 20 meters to the first 35 meters between each hurdle 40 meters from the last hurdle to the finish line So just start at the normal 200m start line and run the second half of a 400m hurdles race. This race is generally only contested in Youth and Masters competitions with a few exceptions. The old Olympic 200 hurdles was the 220 yard low-hurdles: 20 yd to the first hurdle 20 yd between hurdles 20 yd from the last hurdle to the finish This race was contested over low hurdles (30") and was dropped from the the Olympic roster after the 1904 Olympics.
