The Alcalde Agustín San José Park in Vicálvaro hosts on November 8 a new edition of the Marathon Cross Trophy. The move from Parque de la Cruces to the Vicálvaro neighborhood is the main novelty of an edition that, once again, will crown the Madrid Absolute Club Cross Championship. The change has been due to a series of works in the green space known as ‘carabanchelero’ that complicate organizational tasks.
A two-kilometer circuit and a one-kilometer circuit will underpin the development of the different events for the senior, under-23 and under-18 categories, both men and women. The children’s races will take place on a shorter course, ranging from 350 to 750 meters, depending on the case.
The morning program of the Marathon Trophy is completed with the usual offering of a popular cross, limited to 500 participants, which will take place on a 6-kilometer course. This event will be included in the , with prizes for the first three and a gift for all participants. Within the Popular Cross there would also be a category for people with disabilities, who will participate on this distance and in this event.
The 2026 edition will not be the first relocation experienced by the Marathon Trophy in a long history that began in 1960. In its origins, the Marathon Trophy was held in Madrid’s Casa de Campo, later moving to Las Cruces Park at the end of the 20th century. In this journey, some editions have even been contested on the Jarama circuit or in Arganda del Rey.
The Marathon Trophy, which reaches 67 editions held, is one of Madrid’s most prestigious sporting events and will once again recall the figure of Javier Manzano, for many years linked to organizing events from the Marathon Sports Association.
The poster for the 2026 edition is led by one of the great athletes in the recent history of the Marathon Sports Association, national marathon champion in 2018 among many other achievements, and more than two decades as a club member: the Madrid-based Clara Simal
