What is a good camcorder for recording sports like running/hurdling with little or no blur? Frames per second?

High frame rate cameras or pro-grade cameras with "overcranking" capabilities are expensive - but it is possible to do.
A more cost-effective method is pretty much using any camcorder with the capability of increasing the shutter speed a lot - then using the video editor in your computer for slow-motion playback or frame-by frame playback in the computer or on the camera.
How are you expecting to position the camera, start recording and stop recording? I hope you have a "helper" do that for you.
I've recorded football games and basketball games using a shutter speed of 1/1000 second and there is very little/no blur when reviewing frame-by-frame. When the shutter speed is faster than this, the video image will darken because the shutter is not open long enough for the light to come in through the lens and get collected by the imaging chip(s).
Stay away from high compression video formats - like AVCHD. The video recorded by these hard drive, flash memory or DVD based camcorders is not so good because of the way they interpolate the information between frames. DV/HDV onto miniDV tape is most common in consumer camcorders (for standard definition, Sony DCR-HC62, Panasonic PV-GS320 - among others; Canon ZR960... for high definition, that starts at the Canon HV40). DV/HDV format - whether to miniDV tape, flash memory (Panasonic AG-HVX200 redords to DVCPRO HD; Sony HVR-Z7U) or hard disc drive (any miniDV tape based camcorder compatible with a Focus Enhancements FireStore drive) should be fine.
