Angkor Wat International Half Marathon

Nearly 3,500 runners from 47 different countries annually contest this 21km race through, in, and around the Angkor temples. The setting alone makes this event an iconic edition to the international race calendar, with the evocative temples a constant backdrop to the athlete's efforts. The race starts before dawn in order to avoid the stifling heat and humidity of the day. All funds raised are devoted to victims of landmine explosions, and for the treatment and prevention of HIV/Aids.
