Bog Standard

Starting Aug 30 @ 12:00 AM

Every August, roughly 180 people travel to a Welsh village to doggy-paddle 120 yards through a peat bog. Proper strokes are banned. The world record is 1:12.34 — the median finisher needs over two and a half minutes. Predict the winning time, whether the record falls, who outnumbers who, and how many actually climb out. World Bog Snorkelling Championships, August 30, 2026, Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales. Free to play. One of us will be right. The rest of us have company.
