Anyone staying with us in August, you might want to sign up. Rules stipulate the wife doesn’t actually have to be yours 😀

Hey Guys, – do you fancy hot women and cold beer?

Hey Ladies – Ever dream of being swept off your feet?

If you answered: “Hell yes!” then we have the sport for you!

The World Alternative Games (WAG) presents WIFE CARRYING like you’ve never seen it before!

Wife Carrying - the sport of Zeus and Athena - takes place at Llanwrtyd Wells on Sunday, August 28th.

It’s fantastic fun, and EVERYONE is welcome!


Wife 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 s*x couples are allowed.

There is no minimum weight for the “wife.” Little people and dwarf carry is encouraged!

Oh - and a bonus prize for the husband who completes the course with the heaviest wife!

Special prizes for fancy dress!

Cost: £10.00 per couple
