Snowshoe World Championship Wife Carry Race
The legend behind the sport of Wife Carrying is based on 19th century Finnish legend "Ronkainen the Robber" who had high qualifications for the men he accepted into his band of thieves. To prove their worth, men had to compete through a difficult course with a heavy sack (or women grabbed from neighboring villages) on their back.
The first modern day wife-carrying event was held in Finland in 1991 and foreign contestants were admitted in 1995. Since 1995 the sport has grown to include the winter version, the Snowshoe Wife Carry. The Mellie Dunham Snowshoe Festival held in Norway, ME has hosted the event at Roberts Farm Preserve since 2012.
How It Works:
Snowshoe Wife Carrying differs from The traditional Wife Carry in length, carriers are required to wear a pair of snowshoes and the obstacles used. The course at Roberts Farm is built to Snowshoe Wife Carry specifications at 125 yards in length; with three dry obstacles. Teams will race the course in heats of 3 or 4 and fastest times of the day will be crowned The World Champions of Snow Shoe Wife Carrying!
