Angkor Trail

Angkor Trail

Few races offer a setting as steeped in history as the Angkor Ultra-Trail, the only event authorized to cross, day and night, the UNESCO-listed archaeological site in northern Cambodia, near Siem Reap. Runners take on dirt tracks, jungle trails, rice fields, villages and the grounds around the temples, with the silhouettes of Khmer ruins as their backdrop. The mostly runnable terrain is suited to a wide range of formats, from a short trail accessible to everyone to a 100 km ultra, not to mention a walking route for sharing the adventure with the whole family. Held during the dry season, when temperatures remain warm and the light is bright, the event combines a sporting challenge with cultural discovery in a festive and supportive atmosphere, while raising funds for local charities. A race that leaves you with the unforgettable feeling of having run at the heart of a world heritage site.
