Bilbo Sluggins Slides To Victory In The 2025 World Snail Racing Championship
July 22, 2025
The crowd in Norfolk, England, may have been small—but the excitement was slowly building all day. And in the end, it was a slimy little superstar named Bilbo Sluggins who inched his way to glory, winning the 2025 World Snail Racing Championship.
Held in the village of Congham, this delightfully quirky event has been creeping along since the 1960s. Each year, snails from near and far take their marks on a special 13-inch circular track, all racing for the coveted silver tankard—filled, appropriately, with lettuce leaves.
The race kicks off with the legendary call: “Ready. Steady. Slow!”
