The Cobb Marathon Bowl was a greyhound racing competition held at Catford Stadium.
It was a leading competition run over the longer marathon race distance and was inaugurated in 1942 over 810 yards.
The event was introduced by a Catford greyhound owner called Mr Francis Rupert Victor Cobb (a brewer by trade). He died in 1966 which led to the race also being known as a memorial race.
The race was discontinued in 1975 because other marathon events such as the TV Trophy surpassed it in regard to importance.
