About World Bog Snorkelling Championship August at Green Events - Llanwrtyd Wells
The Bog Triathlon first ran in 2005, following a demand for more dirty fun around our famous Waen Rhydd Bog.
The event takes place at Waen Rhydd bog on the outskirts of the town, getting underway at about 10:00
The site is signposted from the town for those who don't mind about a mile walk, and there is also a free shuttle bus running from the town square to the bog and back throughout the day, beginning as soon as we can manage after 9am. There are food and drink stalls, crafts, live music and a real ale and cider bar on the site, so it's a great day out even if you don't fancy taking the plunge. There is a small charge for parking at the bog site.
In order to make the events accessible to a wider audience, we have introduced a "Bite Size" Triathlon, ideal for junior competitors or those athletes who are perhaps not so dedicated to multi-discipline sports. This will comprise a 3 mile run, a 60 yard bogsnorkel, and a 6 mile mountain bike ride. It is open to individual competitors or relay teams of three and is perfect for sampling the delights of this event without the need to be a hardened athlete.
Online entries close 7 days before the event, though you can enter on the day. Entry fees are £20 for seniors (aged over 16) and £12 for juniors (aged 14 to 15).
