Snorkelling for the World Bog Snorkelling Championships

The World Bog Snorkelling Championships take place on the 25th of August. Celebrated annually in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales, this quirky and challenging event draws participants from around the world to compete in snorkelling through a water-filled trench cut through a peat bog. The championships are a unique and fun way to promote outdoor activities, physical fitness, and the natural beauty of the Welsh countryside.

The World Bog Snorkelling Championships were first held in 1985 and have since become a popular event, attracting both serious competitors and those looking for a bit of fun.

The championships are known for their friendly and inclusive atmosphere, making it a great way to enjoy the unique sport and the beautiful surroundings of Llanwrtyd Wells.
