Uphill Competitions

The entire competition will be conducted according to the IUF Rulebook 2019, supplemented by several adjustments.

General Regulations

There are no restrictions regarding the unicycle.

Uphill is a pure uphill race. The entire course must be completed riding or hopping on the unicycle.

After a fall or dismount, riders must remount at the same point or further back towards the start.

The position of the wheel at the moment of the fall is considered the point of dismount.

Sideways or backward adjustments of the remount position are permitted.

Finish Line

The finish line must be crossed with both feet on the pedals.

In the event of a fall directly at the finish line, the rider must return behind the marked line, remount, and cross the finish line correctly while riding or hopping.

Behaviour on the Course

Riders on the course are not required to make room for faster riders approaching from behind, as long as they maintain their chosen line.

However, after a fall or dismount, riders must clear the course as quickly as possible.

Riders who have fallen or dismounted must not obstruct riding participants under any circumstances, including during remount attempts.

It is permitted to hold onto fences, trees, or walls, but not onto marshals or spectators.
