Cambodia Investment Review

Running is becoming increasingly popular across Cambodia, reflecting a growing movement toward health, resilience, and community connection. For runners, a race is not only about distance or timing; it is also about the destination, the experience, and the memories they proudly take home. Cambodia offers exactly that — a remarkable race destination that inspires both local and international runners.
Angkor Empire Marathon 2026
The Angkor Empire Marathon 2026 will be held on 2 August 2026 within the magnificent ancient Angkor archaeological sites, once the heart of the great Khmer Empire and one of the world’s largest pre-industrial urban centres. Every step along the marathon route takes runners through historic landscapes filled with natural beauty, cultural and artistic heritage, ancient temples, and welcoming local communities, all surrounded by a fresh and peaceful atmosphere. These are the experiences that make every runner proud to participate.
This recognition is not just promotional words, but impressions shared by major international media outlets with readers around the world. Forbes, a globally recognized business and lifestyle media platform known for covering influential destinations, experiences, and global trends, recently featured the Angkor Empire Marathon in its article “12 Marathons Worth Traveling For In 2026.” The publication highlighted the unforgettable experience of running through Cambodia’s breathtaking ancient Angkor landscape, where history, culture, and endurance come together in one extraordinary race experience.
