Best Speed Hurdles of 2026

The Body Sport set gives you five hurdles that adjust to 6, 9, and 12 inches, plus an extra-large carry bag. The bag is the detail that stands out: it has room for the hurdles and a few small training extras, so it can serve as a single kit bag rather than a hurdle sleeve.

We recommend this set for a solo athlete or a small group that wants the same height range as our top pick. The collapsible design folds for storage, and the height changes are straightforward. The extra-large bag makes it easy to carry the set plus a few small extras.

The height range is the real draw: 6 inches for footwork, 9 for sprint mechanics, 12 for taller knee lift. It covers the same progression as our top pick in a package that is easier to store when folded. The folded set takes up little shelf space, and the bag has room for a few small extras.

Twelve hurdles and ten marker cones turn the ASENVER set into a small station kit rather than just a line of barriers. The hurdles are made from ABS plastic in bright orange, and the package includes two hand straps so the set can be bundled and carried in two loads instead of a dozen loose pieces.

For a coach setting up multiple stations, the quantity is the point. Twelve hurdles let you run a longer line or split a group, and the cones add gates, slalom turns, or marking without a second purchase. The high-visibility orange helps when the set is spread across a field.

We recommend it for team sessions and coaches who need volume, not for a solo athlete with a small training space. Confirm the height matches your drill before you order, because the set is built around quantity rather than a stated height. The two hand straps make the difference between a pile and a kit.

If you already have cones and only need hurdles, a smaller set makes more sense. If you are equipping a squad and want one box to cover hurdle lines and stations, ASENVER is the value play.

Three heights in one hurdle is what makes the QUICKPLAY set the one we recommend first. Each hurdle changes between 6, 9, and 12 inches by rotating the feet, so there are no loose clips to lose and no separate hurdle sizes to buy. We used the low setting for quick footwork, the middle for sprint mechanics, and the tall setting when we wanted a more obvious knee-lift cue. Six hurdles make a usable line rather than a token set.

The low-catch top bar is the other detail we appreciated. The dog-bone shape and beveled edges give a clipped foot less to catch on, which matters when you are running repetitions rather than posing for a photo. The set is light and portable, and it works on grass, turf, gym floors, asphalt, and concrete. That range makes it easy to keep in the car for whatever surface is available.

The quick-click system also makes this the best adjustable set here for a group with mixed experience. We changed heights between drills without hunting for a clip, and the sixth hurdle gives a fuller line than the five-piece adjustable sets. If you only need one fixed height, a simpler set such as the NWS Forza is easier to live with; if you want one set to cover the widest range, this is it.

The NWS Forza set does one thing and does it without fiddling: six 6-inch hurdles, all the same height. There is no adjustment mechanism to reset between reps, which is exactly why we pick it for coaches who want every sprint to look identical. The hurdles are made from a strong shatterproof plastic, and the bright yellow is easy to track from the side of the field.

A fixed height is a feature, not a compromise, when the session is about consistency. We like that the set goes out and comes back without anyone checking a setting. The low 6-inch bar is suited to footwork, acceleration mechanics, and quick feet through a line. For taller knee-lift work, you need a different set.

The six-pack is generous for a solo athlete and workable for a small group. There is no carry bag included in the set, so a strap or a storage bin earns its place in the kit. The 6-month warranty is a modest window, and the simple plastic construction is the kind you inspect rather than abuse.

If you want fixed, no-nonsense 6-inch hurdles, this is the set we recommend. It wins on repeatability and simple setup, and the six-pack gives a coach enough hurdles for a real line.

The Trademark Innovations five-pack is the budget route into hurdle training: five 6-inch hurdles in bright orange, with no assembly and no height adjustment to pay for. They are light, stack into a shallow bundle, and are easy to carry from the car to the field.

For basic footwork, warm-ups, and young athletes, the set does the job. The 6-inch height is low enough for quick steps and high enough to give a visual target. The plastic is simple and the one-year warranty is a small cushion. The five-hurdle count covers a short line rather than a full station.

The budget position is the reason to consider it, and the compromise is stability. These hurdles can wobble or fall over on uneven grass, and a light knock moves them out of line. We keep them for flat turf, gym floors, and straightforward footwork rather than high-speed sprint work where a shifted hurdle changes the rep. At this end of the set, that is the trade you are making.

Compared with the NWS fixed six-pack, Trademark gives you five hurdles instead of six and less confidence on rough ground, but it is the lower-cost way to get started. If the set is for a serious sprinter or a windy field, spend more. If it is for a first line of hurdles, this one is easy to justify.

The GHB set is one of the few here built around an 8-inch hurdle, a useful middle height between the common 6-inch footwork hurdle and 12-inch sprint barriers. You get ten hurdles, each 250 grams, with detachable legs and a carry bag plus a separate carry strap.

The 8-inch height gives athletes a more obvious knee-lift target without asking for the clearance of a 12-inch hurdle. Ten in the pack suit a coach who wants a long line or two stations. The detachable design packs flatter than a one-piece hurdle, and the orange colour is easy to see.

Eight inches is not the easiest first height for a young beginner; it asks for more knee lift and a cleaner takeoff. Experienced athletes and older teens get the benefit, but a complete novice may be better served by a 6-inch set until the rhythm is there.

We see this as a bulk 8-inch option for experienced athletes and coaches, not the first set for a beginner. The fixed height means no progression. If 8 inches is the height you need and you want ten of them, it earns a place; if you want one set to do everything, go adjustable.

The SMTPDT set pairs five 9-inch hurdles with ten soccer cones and a carry bag. The 9-inch height is the reason to look at it: it sits between low footwork barriers and tall sprint hurdles, and it gives adults a more visible target without the clearance demand of a 12-inch bar.

The hurdles are detachable and made from weatherproof PP, and the set is light enough to move around a field. Five hurdles and ten cones cover a short hurdle line plus a slalom or marking station. For a parent or solo athlete who wants one bag for both, that combination is convenient.

The cone count is generous, but the set is still five hurdles. If you already own cones, you are paying for extras you may not need. For a first kit, though, having markers in the same bag saves a second trip to the car.

We recommend this as a budget 9-inch starter set, especially for an adult returning to drills or a young athlete moving up from 6-inch hurdles. If you want a 9-inch line with cones included in one bag, SMTPDT covers it. Check the joints after each session and keep the hurdles on flat ground.
