55 metres hurdles is a distance in hurdling, usually only run in indoor competitions. This is more commonly run at the high school level. The objective is to approach the first hurdle with 7 steps, each hurdle after that needs to have 3 step intervals. 5 stepping or commonly known as stutter stepping cuts down a hurdlers momentum and cuts drastic time. 4 stepping is less common, but it is when a hurdler switches their lead leg each hurdle. Unlike outdoor track and field, indoor track usually has no distance hurdles to also run since the typical indoor track is only 160 metres or 200 metres. It is usually an alternative to the 60 metres hurdles.

60 yards hurdles

Before 1987, the 60 yards hurdles – held over 60 yards (54.864 m) – was contested at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships and other high-level American competitions. It was replaced by the 55 m hurdles from 1987 to 1990 before finally being replaced with the 60 m hurdles at the 1991 edition. Because the distances are so similar, a conversion of 0.01 seconds is sometimes applied in statistical lists to convert 60 yd hurdle marks to equivalent 55 m hurdles times.[1] The 70 yards hurdles was also an uncommon distance held indoors beginning at the 1956 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships and ending by the 1963 Championships.[2]
