Snail racing rules can vary, but generally, participants must choose a healthy, live snail and place it on a designated race track. The race typically begins when the snails are placed at the starting line, and the winner is the first snail to cross the finish line or reach a specific distance. No external aids, such as nudging or assisting the snails, are allowed. Spectators often cheer for their favorite snails, adding to the fun atmosphere of the event.
