Wife Carrying Snowshoe World Championship - Canceled

Sat April 20, 2019 Newry, ME 04261 US

Event: Wife Carrying Snowshoe World Championship

Wife carrying is based on husband-and-wife teams racing, with the husband carrying the wife through a regulation length obstacle course. Competing couples do not have to be married, though they must be comprised of a man and a woman and both must be at least 21 years old to enter. The fastest two teams from the qualifying round then compete head-to-head in a final heat. How the wife is carried is the competitors' choice, though most use the "Estonian carry" where the female participant holds the male around the waist and tightens her legs around his neck, thereby freeing his hands.
