Join us on the July 11th on Alki Beach in West Seattle for the second longest-running beach vault in America! We will be in the middle of the Seafair Pirates Landing, guaranteeing a large crowd and lots of piratey fun. There will be music, vendors, pirates and more!

We will be using two runways for 2009. UW's super fast mondo runway and the very sturdy runway from Columbia Striders.

Free t-shirt to all competitors!

Schedule

Note that we may adjust the groups depending on entries. Entries will be posted as I receive them, and a somewhat final start list and time schedule will be posted or emailed to competitors on July 9th.

Elite Competition

The elite competition is a unique opportunity for the best men and women in the Pacific Northwest to compete head to head with a 4 foot bar difference.
NOTE: We may not be able to have a co-ed elite competition this year due to the top US women being in Eugene for the Olympic Trials and the Canadian women competing at their Olympic Trials.
Prize money will be awarded, amount TBA
