Homecoming Weekend

Farley Field House
Bowdoin College

Coach Phil Soule
Phil Soule coached football at Bowdoin College for 39 years. He also coached baseball, wrestling, lacrosse, squash, and track during his Bowdoin career.

One of the founders of the Maine Rowdies running club, Phil was a competitive runner. Marathons, ultra-marathons, and triathlons were his favorite events.

Phil's philosophy was to live each day to its fullest. The intent of the 5k Phlail is to honor that belief.
