Angkor Wat International Half Marathon

Since 1996, the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon has been held at the renowned UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor Wat in northern Cambodia. Angkor Archaeological Park is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia, covering approximately 400 square kilometers of forested areas and containing the remains of several capitals of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th centuries, including the famous temple of Angkor Wat and the Bayon temple at Angkor Thom.

Participants from all over the world join the marathon to support the ban on the manufacture of antipersonnel mines. Entry fees and additional financial support are used to provide prosthetic limbs, social reintegration programs, and other essential programs such as HIV / AIDS prevention and education.
