Naga Trail Angkor – Half marathon 21,100 km
For this 10th edition, the NAGA TRAIL ANGKOR 21.1 km, whose evocative name pays tribute to the greatness of the Khmer Kingdom, enhances the event program with a new half-marathon distance. This 21.1 km race now replaces the Temple Run d’Angkor – 18 km and takes place entirely within the heart of the Angkor archaeological site, in the province of Siem Reap, northern Cambodia.
Along this 21.1 km course, runners will follow the final sections of the other race routes on the program, offering a gradual immersion into the unique world of Angkor. The start will be given from Eastern Mebon, before joining the main archaeological complex.
From the very first strides at Eastern Mebon and throughout the entire course, runners are guaranteed unforgettable sensations in a setting rich in history and emotion.
This 21.1 km trail half-marathon will be run on dirt tracks, through stunning rice fields and unspoiled natural landscapes, without forgetting the many crossings of small local villages, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Angkor temples. For a few kilometers, you will feel like a true adventurer, where the giant roots of towering fig and kapok trees seem ready to embrace you. The full magic of the Ultra-Trail d’Angkor is concentrated within these 21.1 kilometers…
You will experience an extraordinary adventure that will stay with you for a long time. The warm welcome of the local people will only deepen your love for Cambodia. The soul of the Khmer Kingdom, the temples of Angkor are a source of inspiration and national pride for the Cambodian people, and their beauty has fascinated travelers from around the world for centuries.
Do not miss this rare privilege of running on a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
