CM Invitational

Established in 1958 by Br. James Barry, the Catholic Memorial Invitational is one of the longest-running cross country races in New England and is known for its efficiency and its longstanding tradition as one of the few invitational races in New England sponsored by a high school.

The 2024 version of the race, held annually in October at Franklin Park, will be the 63rd edition. The freshman and JV races take place on the 3K course, while the varsity teams run the standard 5K course.
