Abstract

Organizers of a wife-carrying race coming to Bethel have set up a registration site on the Internet and expanded the carrying options for contestants as the July 15 event draws near. The race is also open to wives carrying husbands and partners carrying partners. The 278-yard race being organized by the Mahoosuc Arts Council is based on a similar event held in Sankajarva, Finland, last year. Details of the grand prize, a trip to Finland to participate in the World Championships, are still being worked out.
