Dozens of couples took part in the 13th annual wife-carrying race earlier today with a barrel of ale awaiting the winners at the finish line.
The bizarre contest kicked off at 10.30am along the 380-metre course in Dorking, Surrey.
The rules state that those being carried can in fact be male or female but must weigh at least 50 kilograms with strict penalties for dropping your partner.
The couple who wins the race will get a barrel of ale worth 150 sterling.

If you’re going to provide light-hearted news from across other countries, that’s fine, but please be aware that the daily mail is a right wing, racist, nationalistic newspaper. Don’t see why i should avoid reading it in the UK, but have to read it here?
@OpenMind, I am quite sure these people who gave you thumb down don’t understand right wing from left wing all they know is chicken wings, ignorant is still playing a big part in our society especially the black race.
