This hilarious and entertaining event is based on the Singleton Show’s Australian Wife Carrying Titles, modelled on the original competition held in Finland. In this event two people complete a timed 100m course negotiating four obstacles on the way. One of the couple must be carried by the other for the entire length of the course.

In true Bellingen style we have put our own inclusive spin on this crowd-pleasing event!

With both mixed and same gender classes there is no requirement for the carrying partner to be male (as per the Singleton and International events).

Come and have a go! Find us in the Special Events Arena at 2pm on Sunday afternoon. The entry fee is $10 per couple, with signed waiver forms required on the day.

To register, submit your completed entry form and waiver at the at the event on the day. Registrations close at 1.30pm.

The carried partner must be 18 years old or over, weigh at least 49kg and must wear a helmet throughout the event.
