The Cross Navideño Camino La Vega is a festive cross country meeting held in the Extremadura town of La Garrovilla on the second Sunday of December. The main race covers 7 kilometres over the paths and fields that trace the Camino La Vega, on a mixed surface of earth tracks and farmland rather than tarmac. Alongside the senior race the day includes separate starts for under 16, under 10 and under 8 boys and girls, so the morning runs from the youngest schoolchildren up to the adults. It is a small, locally organised event, and entrants should confirm start times, entry fees and course details directly with the organiser.

The race takes place in La Garrovilla, a small town in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura, in south-west Spain. The course follows the Camino La Vega, the traditional path that leaves the town towards the river plain.
The event is scheduled for Sunday 13 December 2026. Because local cross country dates can shift, check the organiser's page shortly before travelling.
Late or on-the-day entry is not confirmed for this edition. Register in advance through the organiser's page if you want to be certain of a place, especially in the youth categories.
Mid-December in Extremadura is usually cool and often damp, with morning temperatures that can sit close to freezing and daytime highs in the low teens. Rain in the preceding days makes the ground heavy, so bring a change of shoes and warm clothing for afterwards.
Yes. Cross country courses in a small town like La Garrovilla are easy to follow on foot, and spectators can usually move between a few points on the circuit to cheer runners through more than once.
