The weight-lifters - pictured during the pig-carrying leg of the competition – were taking part in the Hercules challenge
race in Hengyang, in the nation's Hunan province last week.
Carrying more than 7st of squealing live pig in each hand, the competitors had to bring home the bacon in the fastest
possible time
The would-be ironmen had to carry the pigs 32 yards, along with other tasks.
Some of the competitors effortlessly lifted the pigs across the finish line.
China is the world’s biggest pork market, importing some 800,000 tonnes a year, hence the fondness for getting hogs
involved.
