As the winner of The Rock radio station’s annual Valentine’s Wife Carrying Competition, defending champ Rob Hawthorne took home his wife Margaret’s weight in beer for the second year!
Contestants competed for their wife’s weight in beer, running an obstacle course designed by The Rock’s Morning Rumble team. Wives are carried in a variety of styles ranging from a classic fireman’s life to a good old-fashioned piggyback.
