The Cross Popular Salvar el Pinar de la Elipa is a cross country running event held in La Elipa, in the Ciudad Lineal district of Madrid. The headline race covers 6 kilometres of park terrain, run as a cross country race rather than on the road, with the Pinar de la Elipa pine grove at the heart of the day. Separate races for younger athletes, split into alevín, infantil and cadete on one start and benjamín and prebenjamín on another, run alongside the main event so that children from local clubs and schools get their own race. The 2026 edition is the twenty-third running of the event and is scheduled for Sunday 22 November 2026. The race is organised as a popular, open-to-all cross country fixture, and entries are handled through the organiser's RockTheSport event page.
