Pole vaulting on the Port

For many years the Herculis Perche Tour has returned to Monaco and other destinations on the Riviera shortly before the annual athletics event at Stade Louis II.

For the 30th anniversary of the meeting, a special event will take place on Tuesday, July 18, in the port of Monaco with a pole vault competition.

From 3 to 7 pm at the South Darse on the harbour, a team of enthusiasts made up of national-level pole vaulters selected from the clubs of the region will enchant onlookers with a demonstration of jumps.

At 17:00 spectators will be able to witness an hour of high-level pole vaulting, with the bar set at five metres. The Hercules EBS event will be held on July 21 at 19:00 at Stade Louis.
