'It Can Be a Stolen Wife'
The main competition this weekend in Sonkajärvi will feature a quarter-kilometer (.15-mile) course across sand, asphalt and grass, over two "dry obstacles," like logs, and through about three feet of water. "The wife to be carried," according to official rules, "may be your own, the neighbor's or you may have found her (elsewhere) ... She must, however, be over 17 years of age."
The Wife Carrying Marathon
The track is same as world championships without water obstacle. Main rules are the same as in the World Championships but the man must carry the wife in the traditional piggyback style. Winner is the couple that has run longest way during six minutes.
