Masters athletics The event is the official distance for the M80+ and W70+ divisions of Masters athletics. The height for all hurdles in these age groups is 27 in cm on, and the arrangement of the hurdles is different from the previous version of the race. The distance to the first hurdle is 20 metres, which corresponds with the markings for the last half of a 400 metres hurdle race, standard on most tracks. Because, like the flat 200 metres, the race only covers half of a standard track, a wind reading is required. 27-inch hurdles The idea of using 27 in cm on on hurdles was introduced in Europe in 2000.Ivar Söderlind updates Eurovets records masterfully — yet again http://masterstrack.com/2010/09/15631/ masterstrack.com 1 May 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20150402152946/http://masterstrack.com/2010/09/15631/ 2015-04-02 deadhttps://www.mail-archive.com/t-and-f@lists.uoregon.edu/msg05570.html t-and-f: Anselm Lebourne not U.S. citizen? mail-archive.com 1 May 2017 Standard hurdles do not accommodate this height, which caused resistance from some NGBs, but the rules were adopted worldwide.http://www.world-masters-athletics.org/files/laws_rules/Appendix-A-K.pdf Appendix A 2013-05-06 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120122064124/http://www.world-masters-athletics.org/files/laws_rules/Appendix-A-K.pdf 2012-01-22 Many hurdles will not go to that height at all, or would only do so if they were cut down.

Also many training hurdles (used to teach smaller, youth beginners) will go to 27 inches and lower.August 2025 Records After setting the world record for the 300 metres hurdles during its last year on the official program at age 80, Canadian Earl Fee set the still standing world record of 36.95 (+0.0) a year later at the NCCWMA Regional Championships in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico on September 5, 2010. Almost four years later, Fee also set the M85 record of 42.70 (+0.4) in the same meet, this time being held in San Jose, Costa Rica on August 23, 2014. The M90 record of 51.31 was set a month earlier by American Ralph Maxwell with the benefit of high altitude in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA at the Rocky Mountain Masters Games. Australian Marge Allison holds the W70 record of 36.71 (+0.7), set August 12, 2015 in Lyon, France, at the 2015 World Masters Athletics Championships. Allison also holds the W65 record set four years earlier at the same championships. Canadian Christa Bortignon set the W75 record of 39.89 (+0.0) at a domestic meet in Kamloops, British Columbia on May 18, 2013. American sprinting legend Irene Obera learned hurdles sufficiently to set the W80 record 42.24 (+1.2) on July 20, 2014, at the USATF Masters Championships in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
