Angkor Wat International Half Marathon

December 5, 2021 @ 12:00 am

The Angkor Wat International Half Marathon is taking place since 1996 at one of the most famous UNESCO world heritages, Angkor Wat.Angkor Archaeological Park, which is in northern Cambodia, is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Stretching over some 400 sq. km, including forested areas, Angkor contains the magnificent remains of several capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century CE. This includes the famous temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon temple with its countless sculptural decorations.
Runners from all over the world participate to support a ban on the manufacture and inhumane use of antipersonnel mines. Entry fees and additional financial support foster independence among landmine victims by helping provide prosthetic limbs, social reintegration programs, and supporting other relevant and needed programs such as education and prevention of HIV / AIDS.
