ABOUT THE MARATHON
The Angkor Wat International Half Marathon was started in 1996 as an appeal to the world to support the ban on the use of antipersonnel mines. Runners from all over the world participate in this event and entry fees continue to support those who have been injured by landmines.
The marathon offers the chance to run on an incredibly unique course in a UNESCO world heritage listed area with ancient temples and trees – bring your camera and snap some photos along the way!
There are three distances; 3km family run/walk, 10km road race or 21km half marathon
Each category starts and finishes at the iconic Angkor Wat temple in Siem Reap and follows a flat course – so there are no killer hills!
ABOUT US
At Hagar we are committed to the whole journey.
The whole journey starts with a survivor, an individual who has experienced severe trauma as a result of slavery, trafficking or abuse. From the moment that individual enters our care, we work with them to assess what their needs are and offer a full range of intensive services.
We can provide a safe place to live, counselling, case management, legal support, education and economic empowerment. Through your support, Hagar seeks to rebuild trust and resilience, creating opportunities for each individual to not simply survive, but thrive!
Here at Hagar we believe the whole journey is every step taken by a survivor towards healing.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST YEAR
“Being in Siem Reap and meeting some of Hagar’s clients was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am incredibly humbled by it and so proud of what the clients and team in Cambodia have achieved.”
Heather Li, Runner from HSBC
“I was most inspired by meeting Hagar’s clients in person the day before the race. We talked about their hometowns, their day to day, what they did with Hagar. Sharing the race experience was also a great way to connect.”
