This historical marathon event to Cambodian people was planned to start in 1995, but it could realize from 1996 with the main purpose of raising fund to support and encourage the landmine victims who survived after a long civil war to take normal lives as others. The Angkor Wat International Half Marathon was also set up for the purpose of consolidating the nation and intimate friendship with all the people around the world. That’s why we choose the running course in the center of ancient capital of the Khmer Empire – The Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom temples complex ( dating from 12th -16th Centuries ).
