The Wife Carrying World Championship in Finland has been held yearly since 1991. The event is organized by volunteers from nearby village associations, entrepreneurs, seniors, and youth living in Sonkajärvi. It is as the name describes: men carrying women on their backs compete in a series of relay endurance tests to determine the World Champion. It is as difficult to do as it is fun to watch. The event has been picked up in other countries as well, including the United States and the United Kingdom, each of which holds its own competitions. The Wife Carrying World Championship is the brainchild of Mr. Eero Pitkänen, of the Sonkajärvi municipality. Decisions on the event are made via the Sonkajärven Eukonkanto corporation committee consisting of public servants within the Sonkajärvi municipality, deputies from nearby companies & associations, and private persons living in Sonkajärvi.

Several factors can cause an event to change dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promoter prior to committing resources.
