Cross Trofeo Marathon 2026: results and winners in Vicálvaro

Daniel Hernando and Sara Reglero won the 2026 Cross Trofeo Marathon, held on Sunday 8 November at Parque Alcalde Agustín San José in Vicálvaro, Madrid. Hernando won the senior men’s race in 24:55 over eight kilometres, while Reglero took the women’s race in 22:10 over 6.1 kilometres.

The 67th edition had a new venue and combined individual races with the Madrid cross-country club championships. Club Atletismo San Sebastián de los Reyes-Clínicas Menorca and Agrupación Deportiva Sprint claimed the senior men’s and women’s titles respectively.

A hilly first outing in Vicálvaro

The move to the Vicálvaro park followed construction work at Parque de las Cruces in Carabanchel, the race’s most recent venue. The new location offered a course with demanding hills, adding to the challenge of the cross-country races.

The programme brought together club competition, children’s races, adapted athletics and a public race. Estimated temperatures in Madrid were around 8 to 12 degrees during the morning.
