Men run carrying wives on shoulders in unique Britain race

.
An interesting physical live on screen demonstration of how husbands run all their lives carrying their wives on shoulders in damp conditions.
 
. . . . . . .
In wet and slippery conditions, around 40 couples took part in the 11th UK Wife Carrying Race, with participants from around the UK, as well as from the US and Lithuania:D

The race, which apparently comes from a Scandinavian tradition where raiders needed to be quick escaping with womenfolk from neighbouring villages, featured scores of couples racing in damp conditions.

Men generally carry their wives or partners on their shoulders as they race the 380 metre course race up steep gradients and across muddy fields.

The pairs must also jump over obstacles and survive being splashed with water as they race to cross the finish line.

There is a minimum 50-kilo weight rule for the 'wife' or person being carried and all competitors are weighed before entering the race to ensure they meet the requirements.

Are they pimping?

Leave aside the persons in the pic. Talk about the beautiful places in the background. Which city? Which Park?
