The Snail Racing World Championships took place in England over the weekend.
how this past Saturday marked the return of the event in Congham — a village located in Norfolk — after the COVID-19 pandemic forced it into hiatus. The race has been around since it was first started in the 1960s by a man named Tom Elwes, who decided to bring it to England after witnessing a snail race in France.
Humans in the race either pick their snail from a presiding snail master or bring their own shelled buddy. The prize for the winning snail is a tankard of lettuce, although what the human gets remains unclear. The same Metro article confirms that this year’s winner was a snail named Evie whose trainer, Lettie, is the youngest snail trainer that’s ever participated in the games at the ripe age of four years’ old.that the fastest snail on record was named Archie, who blew all those at the 1995 Snail Racing World Championships away by winning at a time of two minutes flat.
