About dsv
The Dauphin Street Vault (DSV) is a world-class pole vault block party held in the heart of historic downtown Mobile, Alabama.
​
A USATF-sanctioned and World Athletics Challenger competition, DSV is part of the World Athletics Global Calendar and attracts athletes from across the United States and beyond, ranging from youth and masters competitors to NCAA standouts, national champions, and international elites pursuing valuable World Ranking points.
​
What makes DSV unique is its setting. For one weekend each summer, Dauphin Street is transformed into a championship pole vault venue, placing spectators just feet from the runway and creating an atmosphere unlike anything found inside a traditional stadium. Restaurants, bars, live entertainment, and thousands of fans combine to create one of the most distinctive experiences in track and field.
​
Founded as a grassroots effort to showcase the sport of pole vaulting, DSV has grown steadily over the years thanks to the support of longtime partners Mobile Sports Authority, UCS/Spirit, and Red Bull USA. Today, with the addition of Beynon Sports Surfaces, the U.S. Air Force, and USA Health Sports Medicine, the event has evolved into one of the premier street vault competitions in the United States.
​
DSV is a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing the sport of pole vaulting, promoting athlete safety, and creating opportunities for athletes of all ages and abilities to compete on the same stage.
​
Whether you're competing, coaching, volunteering, or enjoying the action from a restaurant patio along Dauphin Street, you'll quickly discover why DSV has become one of the most unique and celebrated events in track and field.
