The 2014 championships were held today on cricket field at Congham in Norfolk.

The winning snail was “Wells” owned and trained by Zeben Butler-Alldred from London. Zeben is five years old.

Wells completed the course in 3 minutes 19 seconds, a slow time because of the heat.

Zeben named his snail after the town Wells which he liked in West Norfolk when vacationing there.
