The Fairmont Track Association is getting ready to host Fairmont’s first-ever Street Pole Vault competition!

On June 27th, we’ll be transforming a block of Downtown Plaza into a full pole vault runway & competition right in the middle of the street for a unique new community event featuring athletes from across the region competing under a USATF-sanctioned format.

This competition is being planned as an all-comers meet for experienced vaulters (junior high through masters). Athletes will be placed into competition flights based on submitted personal bests.

 A 9:00am start time is listed as a placeholder. Final competition schedule (which may begin earlier) will be announced closer to the event date. But for now . . .
 Save the Date!

If you're a current pole vaulter (or maybe a former vaulter thinking about shaking the rust off and getting back on the runway), we'd love to have you join us!

And… if you’re a local business excited about bringing something new and unique to our community and would like to help make this event truly amazing, please reach out. There will be a variety of ways to support and sponsor as we work to turn this into something really special for Fairmont.

And yes… the photo in this event is AI-generated to help show what a street vault competition looks like (pretty cool, right?!).
