More than 200 snails slug it out every year in the World Snail Racing Championships held at Congham, in Norfolk. Heats are held throughout the afternoon with a grand final at the end. The winner gets a silver tankard stuffed with lettuce leaves. The World Snail Racing Championships are part of Congham Fete which helps to raise money for the 13th century St Andrew’s Church.
