Funding the club - new equipment and event washed out

With this week's event being unfortunately washed out, and with some shorter track distance events and relay races coming up in the next few weeks Phnom Penh Athletics Club took the opportunity to get hold of some much needed new pieces of equipment.

A set of forty multi-coloured cones will ensure the upcoming 4x100m relay course can be set out clearly with colour-coding to differentiate the start and finish lines, 100m splits and the start & end of the three takeover zones. These cones are also great for setting up athletics training exercises in the week. The 300-split memory stopwatch should be sufficient for hand-timing the club's races for the time being!

These equipment purchases were made possible with the support of donations from participants. Club events are generally free to enter so that they can remain accessible to as many people as possible, however, we welcome donations from participants (and the general public) who wish to support the project and contribute to the club's continued development.

would like to thank all club donors and everybody who supports the club, be it through continued participation, volunteering at events, spreading the word about the club and helping out in any other way.

To donate by ABA please scan the QR or directly enter the account number below (up to date as at September 2024).

We remain committed to keep the club running to the standard expected while always looking to improve where we can and innovate where necessary.

Keep training and see you all soon for our awesome autumn schedule of events!

PPAC-147 5km Road Race [4 May 2025]

For our May 5K we were pleased to welcome several new participants for their first event with Phnom Penh Athletics Club , including 7 visiting athletes from SheRuns Club. Developing inter-club competition is one of our priorities, so this week's race was a great step forward for club-level athletics in Cambodia. The race report and full results are below. Our next race will be a track meet on 01 June. Please stay tuned to our regular channels for a race announcement. Results Craig (1st male) led from the start, putting several seconds into the chase pack on the first lap and only extending his lead from there. Running alone did not seem to affect his plan as he ran away to a new PB and a comfortable victory. Things were a little closer in the chase pack with Hugo , Mathieu and Yohann working together to push each other and keep the race honest. Eventually, it would be the experienced Mathieu who was able to...

PPAC-146 3000m & 200m Track Double-Header [6 April 2025]

For our April track meet , we had a mix of club members and guests showing up to put in some hard work and test themselves against strong competition. The 3000m is an excellent fitness test, athletes can use this distance as a benchmark and it is very helpful for setting paces for training zones or for predicting goal race paces for longer distances. The 200m is a pure speed event, and something that a lot of us forget to train for, but is always a fun race and often has exciting close finishes! Race report and full results and analysis below: Race Report In the 3000m, Hugo P. was the men's leader from the gun, demonstrating consistent pacing with a clear goal time in mind, achieving a 12.5s PB. Styvenn (2nd) earned himself a PB by shedding a whopping 23.6s off his previous best. Styvenn is one of the brave few who show up every Tuesday morning at 5AM to grind it out in our Early Bird Threshold session. Clearly...

PPAC-141 5km Road Race [3 November 2024]

PPAC's November 5km was back at the regular Sokha course. 21 runners made it to the start line in wet and humid conditions though the rain stayed away for most of the race! The race report and full results are below. See you soon for more fun training sessions and athletics events including our next 3km race on 17 November! Results Adam provided the pacing duties for the sub-20 group and it looked promising early with a strong pack including Paul, Andarge, Tom, Hugo and Vincent sticking with him for much of the race. Eventually two athletes were able to break the elusive 20-minute barrier, while several others strode ever closer to that impressive mark. We love to see athletes pushing boundaries and attempting challenging goals, so there is never any shame in falling short of a target. Eventual first place finisher Paul was more than happy to let the lead pack go during the opening Park Lap, confident in his ability to reel them in as the race unfo...
