5k and 10k road races
Testimonials
Many runners have come back to Pursat year after year for the race, and many of them are kind enough to express their thanks to the organisers. Here's what some of them have told us.
'It's not about time. It's about having a good time!'
“Pursat might not be the place to record a new personal best time, but it’s a great race to enjoy running with local Cambodians” (Pip Miner, NGO worker, Poipet)
'Pursat perfection'
“The race is a treat for city dwellers for it offers an excellent opportunity to escape the rat race and join the road race.” (Paul Ridley, Phnom Penh teacher)
'A beautiful province'
“Many people travelled a long distance to take part in the race – by plane, bus, car, walking or by wheelchair, and it was lovely to see the enthusiasm shown by everyone, especially the schoolchildren.” (Brian Stenson, race sponsor 2008-2010)
'Developing grassroots athletics'
“The Pursat River Run will help more athletes in Pursat to improve and compete more at national level.” (Nim Kosal, Pursat Sport Officer) .
