Finnish Sport Worth Your Wife’s Weight in Beer
Who hasn’t thought about hauling their wife over their shoulder for the chance to win a nice, cold beer? Based on the sordid tales of thievery, kidnapping, and forced marriage of Ronkainen the Robber, this wife-carrying contest began in 1992.
Much like a triathlon, there are two dry obstacles and one wet obstacle. There is a minimum weight requirement for wives, 108 pounds. Runners that aren’t fast can wear a crazy costume because there’s a prize for that, too.
Only the finest athletes can run while inebriated in the next competition.
