A Maine couple has taken the crown in the North American Wife Carrying Championship over a course that featured a muddy water hole and two log obstacles.

Dave and Lacey Castro of Lewiston came in first among 41 teams to win Saturday’s competition at Sunday River ski resort in Newry. They covered the 278-yard course in 54.45 seconds.

For their effort, the couple won 97-pound Lacey Castro’s weight in beer and five times her weight in cash — $485

A big congratulations to the Castros and more importantly to all the men that managed to have their wives’ heads at their crotches during important times of the race.  It’s not often you get to see gratuitous shots of heads bobbing up and down in full mud gear.

I’m pretty sure I will have to make the trip up to Maine next year to compete.  If these pictures are any indication, I’m going to have to make an appearance.
