Snail Racing
- Snail racing is a sport that takes place in several countries around the world, with the majority of events held in the UK.
- The World Snail Racing Championships has been held annually in England since the 1960s.
- To set up a successful snail race, keep the distance short to avoid long wait times, as snails move very slowly.
- A circular racecourse is recommended, as snails don't recognize lanes and don't always move in straight lines.
- Snails should be placed in the center of the circle, and the first one to reach the edge is declared the winner.
- Archie, a snail, set a record in 1995 by winning the World Championships in a time of two minutes.
