If you are looking for a unique running experience with an ancient theme, then this is it. The 4th Angkor Empire Marathon will bring you through nearly 40 temples in the largest religious monument in the world!

This charity race will take place on 6 August 2017 in the heart of Angkor Era. It aims to raise funds to support the disabled community and poor children in Cambodia.

The 3rd edition of the event welcomed more than 2,300 runners from 46 countries last year.

Race Format

With a course sanctioned by AIMS and IAAF, competitive runners can look to join either a full marathon (42km), half marathon (21km) or the 10km road race.

A 3km family run is also available for recreational runners who would like to immerse themselves in ancient history at a leisure pace.

While all participants will be entitled to an event singlet and finisher medal, only runners in the competitive categories will get a timing chip.
