The hurdles are an athletics event with running and jumping.
The athletes run along a track and jump over the hurdles.
A hurdle stands a little over 3 feet high for men and just under 3 feet for women.
It looks like a gate and can fall over if the runner bumps it.
The runners take a few steps between each hurdle, then jump over the next one.
After the last hurdle, they sprint to the finish line.
The first athlete to finish wins.
