North American Wife Carrying Championship

[Jess from VA]

Well, I know our average age is getting up there, but who's signing up for this one?

The North American Wife Carrying Championship tasks couples with crossing a 278-yard obstacle course--over hurdles, through a watery mud pit, and up an unsteady sand hill--all for the hopes of winning the wife's weight in beer and five times her weight in cash.

Five times her weight in cash is tantalizing, but there's got to be a point of diminishing returns there, somewhere.

This is apparently the preferred carry technique so the runner is hands free to negotiate obstacles.






All contestants have to be 21, but it doesn't really have to be your wife.

So I'm thinking a 21yo midget is the way to go.  

This does not look like fun to do.  But it would be hilarious to watch. A dress? Really?


So I took the old ball and chain out for a walk.  


Show off.


This event was probably thought up by the American Chiropractor's Association.

That does look like fun to me.

It could be an Inzane event.  But like only 30 feet, and on grass.

Immediately followed by the CPR refresher course.

Judging by the average age of members, we would probably need to have a portable defrib unit handy as well. I'd probably need it due to LMAO at the guys in the race.

Due to my own reasons, I'll not be entering this event.  I'm somewhat concerned that the CPR refresher course is scheduled after.  Would seem to me that the six Ps are applicable here.
Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

My wife is just a hair over 5 ft. This sounds like fun

My wife is just a hair over 5 ft. This sounds like fun 

height is not as much of an issue as the weight.   

I could do it, but CPR course might be needed afterwards and no way would I win so why bother doing it at all besides make an _ss of myself....   I am already carrying excess weight on my knees/legs, do not need another 160lbs. added onto near 300....

           MAYBE I could find a Strong young Lady to carry Me!  RIDE SAFE.
