Pole Vault Clinic - Friday, January 8, 10 AM to Noon
Competition Day - January 9, 2026
On January 5, 2019, the First Annual Pole Vault in Paradise brought together pole vaulters from age 9 to 75 to compete alongside some of the best pole vaulting elites from around the country.
What better place is there to vault than Key West in January? We were the first outdoor meet of the season and raised significant funds for the Key West High School Track Team.
Pole Rental is available via The Pole Drop 321-266-8916 www.Skypolevaulter.com
Join us as we return for our 9th event on January 9, 2027 at Higgs Beach in beautiful Key West!
