The fifth Onewheel Race for the Rail World Championship is slated for July 30-31. The new enduro sport’s top riders will compete for $20K.
It’s like Mad Max took over a high-end ski resort. Electrified Onewheel boards will fly down snowless, dusty slopes. Their dirt-caked riders will carve and skrrrrt around corners, hit thrutchy stops, get “craigslisted” (aka wrecked), and whir across the finish line in a monowheel enduro race.
Competitive, off-road Onewheeling is a relatively new genre in the world of outdoor sports — and the last few years have given rise to its popularity around the globe. In fact, participation was substantial enough to warrant national qualifiers and get organizers talking about a World Championship.
And on July 30, Onewheel’s fifth Race for the Rail World Championship goes down. Here’s what we know.

Onewheel World Championship
Onewheel’s Race for the Rail World Championship will take place at Utah’s Snowbasin Resort. The event brings in the world’s top 20 Onewheel riders who will “boardercross-style race” for their share of the $20,000 purse. Riders will have qualified for the event through the Onewheel Racing League’s three national qualifiers.
The race boots up at 10 a.m. MDT on Friday, July 30, with the women’s race. The Women’s Finals comp will commence Friday at 6 p.m. Saturday is men’s race day. Saturday’s comp will begin at 10 a.m., with the Men’s Finals happening Saturday at 6 p.m.
The competition will place riders into brackets and groups of four. Four at a time, the racers will descend high-grade, off-road trails. The two fastest riders in each division will advance to the consecutive round.
