Snail Racing in Congham

By Linda Tancs

“Snail racing” is as oxymoronic as you can get, which might explain why there’s only one such championship in the world.  Now in its 40th year, the World Snail Racing Championship is due to take place on 16 July in Congham, an English village in Norfolk.  And what prize awaits the winner at the finish line, you might ask?  Why, a silver tankard stuffed with lettuce, of course!  Slow and steady just might win this race.
