The North American Wife Carrying Championship was founded in 1999 by Sunday River, which today is the organization that owns the event and serves as the sanctioning body for the United States and Canada to determine the North American winners for the World Championships.
If you are interested in sanctioning a state or regional event to qualifying winners for the North American Championship, please contact our Director of Events and Competitions, Caroline Ochtera. For media inquiries, photos, and videos of past events, and press access, please contact Sarah Devlin. Additional information about the sport of wife carrying is available on Wikipedia and Wife-Carrying.org
