Cross de Invierno Ciudad de los Poetas 2026

The Cross de Invierno Ciudad de los Poetas is a winter cross-country race with a long local history, now in its fortieth edition. It also serves as the Memorial Javier Martinez Morales. The event is structured around athletes, schools, and clubs, resembling a community cross event more than a competition solely for experienced road runners. The race notes do not provide a detailed route, but the organization is closely linked to Dehesa de la Villa. Its environmental education center provides space for the race office and equipment storage. Cafe La Paloma contributes funding and supplies broth and other necessities, while club volunteers handle much of the behind-the-scenes work. Organizers report that participation has increased annually.
