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.
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.
There are exactly 10 hurdles in the 100m women's! roughly 8 steps to the first hurdle from the starting point, and 3-5 steps in between each hurdle, depending on if you're in junior varsity or varsity (from a high school POV)
Freshman in High School: 3rd notch for 110m and 300m Sophmore/Junior/Senior in High School: 4th notch for 110m and 3rd notch for 300m College/Professional: 5th notch for 110m and 4th notch for 400m hurdles.
Because the hurdles for men are set at different distances from the starting line than for women. For example: The mens hurdles start at the blue line, so the womens would start about 2 inches away at the yellow line. Additionally, elite men's stride length would not allow them to hurdle at the distance that womens hurdles are set at; it's simply too short.
