The aroma of fresh pasta, tomatoes and cheese drifted toward the waiting athletes. As the scheduled start time approached, Langley invited them inside.
"There are six pastas to your right, four salads to your left," he said. "Fresh baked bread and ice cream are at the end."
Athletes, their coaches and an assortment of other spectators made their way hungrily from tent to tent.
Tickets to the event were included in each athlete's registration packet. However, for $10, any member of the public was invited to join as well.
Sean Keay, a cook at Ambrose, a restaurant on Huntington Street in Boston, heaped spoonfuls of orrechiete with broccoli rabe and tomato onto the waiting plates.
"We like to do these different off-property events," Keay said. "It lets people know that we're out here and that we have some great food."
Once their plates were filled to capacity, the participants took their seats outside along waiting picnic tables.
