Cercedilla will once again serve as a gathering point for running enthusiasts and mountain-running fans on December 13, 2026, with a new edition of its traditional Christmas Race. An event that blends sport, nature, and a festive atmosphere in one of the Sierra de Guadarrama’s most emblematic settings.
The race will keep its habitual route of 13 kilometers and 540 meters of positive elevation, a course that offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy the mountains and that, due to its distance, elevation, and technical difficulty, is especially appealing for those looking to take their first steps in trail running.
Registration will open this Monday through the official website, www.carreracercedilla.es. Additionally, runners registered in Cercedilla will be able to complete their registration in person at the Municipal Sports Center.
Since it takes place in a high-value natural setting, the organizers keep entry slots limited to help conserve the environment and ensure the smooth progression of the event.
The Cercedilla Christmas Race thus establishes itself as one of the most attractive options to bid farewell to the year by running in the mountains, a day that brings together runners of different levels around the shared passion for trail running.
