In 2009, the Castros won the North American Wife Carrying Championships at Sunday River, which gave them the opportunity to compete in Finland where more than 6,500 fans cheered on 46 teams from around the globe.
Lacey Castro tells the Sun Journal of Lewiston that she and her husband are looking forward to a new challenge.
In wife carrying, the man must carry the woman just over an eighth of a mile over and through a series of obstacles.
