You might have played this as a kid, using a friend’s legs as the wheelbarrow.
Some people make this activity a competitive race.
Some participants even have taken to using real wheelbarrows.
In Kenya, there is a race called “To Hell’s Gate on a Wheelbarrow” so named after the National Park that holds the 5 kilometre (3.1 miles) race course.
Funds raised from this fun event go to conservation efforts for the park.

While this activity sounds like it could be a race held in a quaint European town this sport enjoys global appeal.
The game has its origins in Finland where local women were commonly abducted.
The World Wife Carrying World Championship has teams competing from Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Estonia, Ireland, and the United States.
The United States team is competitive: participants need to win their state championship to qualify for the global championship.
Despite the title, any team of two can participate.
