Husband Dragging
T
his is a new event and sees women taking their revenge on the Wife Carrying. It involves the wife running over a slippery surface to a makeshift bar where their husbands are drinking. They then drag their man along the ground before making him complete household duties, after which he returns to the bar. Congratulations to Singleton NSW Australia where the event first took place.

ife carrying is a sport that originated in Finland a long time ago. As legend has it, a bandit named Rosvo Ronkainen led groups of men to steal women and other treats from neighbouring villages. The damsels in distress normally wouldn’t go willingly so they had to be carried. In preparation for the raids, Mr Ronkainen would make his minions prove their worth; that is, display how fast they could run while carrying a woman. The fastest carriers were allowed to join the gang and participate in the raids. From this tradition of plunder and pillage, we now have the sport of the Gods! The WAG rules are simple: The course is 255 meters long and the winning couple is the one who completes the course in the shortest amount of time. There will be heats and finals. The prize for the fastest couple is the wife’s weight in beer! Couples do not need to be married and same sex couples are allowed. There is no minimum weight for the “wife.” Little people and dwarf carry is encouraged! Bonus prize for the husband who completes the course with the heaviest wife! Special prizes for fancy dress! The wife carrying party will include live music, loads of booze, and wife carrying enthusiasts from around the globe! Join us in Wales!
