You might’ve carried your wife across the threshold, but it’s time to take it up a notch. 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.
