WIFE-CARRYING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

  • Finland
  • WHETHER she's your wife, yourneighbour's or just some female you picked up for the event, she needs to weigh a minimum of 49kg and you need to carry her for 253m. The Finns started this great race in 1992 to revive memories of the 19th-century practice of stealing women from neighbouring villages. Good if you like Nordic culture and have a sense of humour and a light wife – or a strong husband.
  • Where: Sonkajarvi, Finland
  • When: July
