Bog snorkelling is a sporting event where competitors aim to complete two consecutive lengths of a 60 yards (55 m) water-filled trench cut through a peat bog in the shortest time possible, wearing traditional snorkel, diving mask and flippers.
The men's world record was set by Neil Rutter in 2018, with a time of 1 min 18.81 seconds.
[2][4][10] Other bog snorkelling events take place, particularly in Wales, but also in Australia, Ireland, and Sweden.
Past recipients include the Cystic Fibrosis Trust (2005) and the Motor Neurone Association (2006).
The 2006 charity was chosen in memory of the Green Events treasurer, Ron Skilton, who died in December 2005.
