=='''Shuttle Hurdle Relay (SHR)'''==
The Shuttle Hurdle Relay (SHR) has been the highlight of many athletic competitions. This events allow four hurdlers to run on the same relay team.
The SHR has been held both outdoor and indoor.
As described by [[Hurdling]] web page: In a shuttle hurdle relay, each of four hurdlers on a team runs the opposite direction from the preceding runner.
Currently the SHR is referred to as the 4 x 60 Hurdles, 4 x 80 Hurdles, 4 x 100 Hurdles, and 4 x 110 Hurdles.
In the past the term Shuttle Hurdle Relay was more commonly used.
The Shuttle Hurdle Relay typically consists of: (a) four hurdlers per relay team - each runs one leg, (b) same sex, (c) each hurdler runs the same hurdle spacing and hurdle heights,
(d) two lanes - one up, and one back (e) the first leg starts at the automatic timing line, hence this allows the anchor leg to finish at the "finish line", (f) hurdlers must stay in their own lane
(g) hurdlers are not allowed to touch the hurdles with their hands, (h) depending on the age-group there may be an "exchange zone" (Masters Track and Field does not use an exchange zone),
(i) No batons are used for this particular relay, and (j) For Masters Track and Field the youngest person on the relay team dictates the age-bracket (for that particular relay team).

The SHR was also included at the [[2019 IAAF World Relays – Mixed shuttle hurdles relay]] competition.
In the past the Mt Sac Relays include a rarely run 4 x 440 yard shuttle hurdle relay competition
Masters Track and Field have included the SHR as a standard event at the Masters Outdoor National Track and Field Championships. The competition is eligible for Masters American Records and medals.
