Spacious Skies Invitational 2026

The Spacious Skies Invitational is a youth cross country meet at the St Boniface cross country course in Erie, Pennsylvania, at 9363 Wattsburg Road. Hosted by the Gladitz Family, it is built for elementary and middle school runners from 1st through 8th grade, with younger runners covering 1 mile and older runners covering 2 miles. Races are split by grade bands and by boys and girls divisions: 1st-2nd, 3rd-4th, 5th-6th, and 7th-8th. The meet uses separate course maps for the 1st-4th grade and 5th-8th grade races, timing is handled by BigWhiteTrailer, and runners are asked to arrive 30 minutes before their start. Awards go to the top 10 finishers in each category, with team awards for the top two teams in both the 1st-4th and 5th-8th grade groups.
