Codfish Bowl

Roslindale, United States • 20 Sep 2025

Codfish Bowl is the 57th annual cross-country meet held at Franklin Park, Boston, MA, and is part of the USATF New England XC Grand Prix. The event features a women's 5K and a men's 8K on modified courses (3 laps for the 5K, 4 laps for the 8K) because traditional courses are unavailable due to stadium construction. It honors top seven individuals with Codfish Bowl medals and awards plaques to winning teams. Founded by a renowned local coach, the race welcomes competitors aged 16 and up, with a $15 entry fee. Maps of the revised courses are planned, highlighting the multi-lap, park-side atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
