Registration is open

Register as early as possible – earlybirds pay less.
You may register as a Non-Competitor in order to be able to take part in workshops, courses and the social events. Entry fees to all events, shuttle services, shows and more are also included. As a Non-Competitor you don’t have any stress because of any competitions because you do not participate in them and can enjoy Unicon16.
You may also register as a Competitor. In addition to all the advantages Non-Competitors receive, you can also compete in your favorite disciplines and fight for the title of the world champion. We have created a large competition program Link and added discriptions for each discipline Link
Competitors need to pay special attention to the country limits for participation Link Due to high expected participant numbers we have set these limits together with the IUF. For limited disciplines the number of participants are limited for each country. Nevertheless we made sure to have unlimited competitions for each area of unicycling as part of the program.
Register for all competitions that you seriously want to compete in. Participation in limited competitions will be decided by your national association. This means we can not guarantee you a starting position at registration.
In cooperation with the national associations we will determine the competitors for the limited starting positions after the first phase of registration.
The first phase of registration starts now and ends September 30th 2011.
During the last phase of registration we will only be able to grant a starting position for limited competitions of there are still free spots.
