Course details

Course highlights

This 100 km long Ultra-Trail® is tracked on a setting that European runners may not be used to. Hence, it will most certainly thrill you, alongside the breath-taking landscapes and diverse setting. You will surely be amazed by the natural richness of Cambodia. However, please note that the changes in the course, with various crossings of sandy paths and rice fields, require adequate preparation. The 64 km trail will track through wilderness routes, rice fields, as well as amazingly beautiful and natural environments. Nevertheless, not forgetting about the crossings of small villages, alongside the magnificent backdrop of the Angkor Temples. This 42.195 km Marathon Trail and 32Km will be running on a track, through rice fields and beautiful nature without forgetting the crossing of a multitude of small villages with the Angkor Temples as a background. The 18 km Angkor Temple Run takes place entirely at the Angkor archaeological site in the northern Cambodian province of Siem Reap. During the 18 km run, you will take the same kilometers as the other races in the program. This Angkor Ultra-Trail is also open to Nordic walking. This exercise is an outdoor sport consisting of accelerated walking with specific walking sticks – usually made of composite material. We would like to inform you that this walk and hike will take place in the same course as that of the runners. This is to guarantee that you will not miss out on any of the fun! Immerse yourself in these beautiful traces and savor every moment. Here, you will discover Angkor in its diversity: its village crossings, rice paddies, jungles, temples overrun by the roots of Kapok trees, and much more. This course will start from the Elephant Terrace and then go deep into the jungle, zigzagging from one single to another in a luxuriant nature.

Great event location, I did 100km and it's the most enjoyed from the 1st km till the finish line.

Starting with the route of the elephant terrace, across the forest, villages, rice field, temples.

We were asked to be at the elephant terrace at 5:30am, for a departure at 7am... It's way too early. The briefing was 10min and useless and then we waited more than an hour for no reason. Shuttles were late so we only started at 7:30am and it was hot. A 6am start would have been better to enjoy sunrise while running. Why not do a quick briefing on the day people pick up their bib? And then ask people to meet straight at the starting point 30min before departure? That would save the shuttle cost and time to everyone. The bib pick up process was also super complicated, we were not on the list and had to be registered again. I would not register for more runs with this organization, price was 100 euros which is more expensive than other races in the region.

Distance was good an trail nice

It was a good experience. Very challenging trail except the weather was rather hot. It would been great if the the race had stated earlier say around 5.30 to 6.00am

Un chalenge personnel relevé avec une super équipe, très accessible et souriante... Une très bonne communication.

Ma première au dessus de 21km, j'étais prêt pour le 21, voir un 23km mais dur dur pour la suite, l'entraînement dans une grande ville comme Ho Chi Minh city où je vis n'est pas évident car ce n'est vraiment pas agréable de passer 16km dans les pot d'échappement. Mais la nature reste un booster exceptionnel et l'encouragement sur les 6 derniers km de ceux qui font t la marche est un booster extrême...

ANGKOR ULTRA TRAIL 2024 REVIEW - 27 & 28 January 2024- CAMBODIA

29 Jul, 2024 (Mon)

The Angkor Ultra-Trail : an undeniable success for 2024! On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 January, one of the most original trails in the world took place: the Ultra-Trail d’Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia! Nearly 1,500 participants took part in one of the six events set in the heart of the Angkor ruins. Organised by the French organisation SDPO with technical support from Phoenix Voyages Group, this 7th edition was once again a great success, offering trailers and walkers from 51 countries thrilling sensations and moving memories between jungle, temple, rice fields and sporting challenge ! “The Angkor Ultra Trail is not just a race; it’s a celebration of cultural heritage, a test of physical and mental limits, and a journey through time”, said event organiser Jean Claude LE CORNEC. “We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and dedication of the participants, as they not only conquered the demanding terrain, but also paid tribute to the historical significance of Angkor.” The event offered a unique opportunity for athletes to explore the rich history of the Khmer Empire while pushing their own limits. Runners took to the course past iconic temples such as Prassat Ta Som, Phnom Bok, Beantay Samre, Prae Rup, Prassat Kravan, Takeo, Ta Nei, Bayon and the Terrace of the Elephants, where ancient stone structures and delicate carvings bore witness to centuries of history. Angkor: an incredible playground For all committed enthusiasts, setting foot on this thousand-year-old site, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is an unprecedented privilege. The 400 km² of the Angkor site at the gateway to the town of Siem Reap was their “preserve” for a few hours! A trail among the greats Now a national event in Cambodia, it took just 7 years for the Angkor Ultra Trail to become one of the finest races in Asia. Set up by SDPO and Jean Claude Le Cornec with the technical support of Phoenix Voyages, the Ultra Trail d’Angkor has become one of the great trails and one of the events where you can score points in the ITRA rankings. On the podiums were some familiar faces, some unknown, some fans of this UTA. The honour goes to the excellent Chinese runner NI Yusheng, who completed the 100km course in the excellent time of 9h 14mn 17sec (New record) and to WEI Xianshuang, 1st female in 11h 51mn 13 sec (New record). There were many other performances on the 32 km Jungle Trail; RANN Narun (Cambodia) in 2h 07’ 10 and CZUCZ Balint, (Hungary) 1st woman in 2h 32’ 52 pulverised the times. Specialists will appreciate that the course is not conducive to achieving this time. A time that will be hard to improve on in future editions. CNOPS Vanja (Belgium – women) won the scratch race in the marathon. Other celebrities at the start of this year’s race include Ngo Vo, Adidas and COROS Vietnam ambassador, Kim Saroeun, a distinguished Cambodian runner, Laurie Phaï, the event’s godmother, Patrick Bauer, the creator of the Marathon des Sables, Hubert Rocher, one of the founders of the Marathon du Médoc, and navigator Romain Attanasio, who is preparing for the VENDEE GLOBE.
