Wife-carrying championships - rewards in beer |
His wife's weight in beer -- and a trophy, too. That's what Keith Cardoza took home as part of the winning team in the North American Wife-Carrying Championships. Forty contestants waded through a muddy river, bounded over obstacles and ran the 275-yard course with their wives slung over their shoulders during the weekend competition held in Maine. Cardoza and his wife, Julia Stoner, of Boston, Massachusetts earned a trophy, the equivalent of five times Julia's weight in cash (675 dollars) and her weight in beer. The winners will also represent the United States at the wife-carrying world championships to take place in Finland in July.
