3km Road Race Rankings [Jan-Mar 2022]

Already one quarter of the way through 2022 and we've had two open 3km races and an additional race held as part of the youth championship in early February. On the eve of our fourth 3km race of the year here are the overall rankings for performances so far.

16-01  PPAC-87 3km Road Race
06-02  PPAC-90 3km Road Race (Youth Championship Round 2)
27-02  PPAC-92 3km Road Race

We've recorded 67 performances so far in 2022 and out of those 48 individuals have recorded times. Here we've ranked the best performances from each individual participant in 2022. Overall rankings are ordered by PPAC Points which allow a fair comparison between M and F performances as well as giving an idea of relative performance to compare with other distances. Performances which did not score points are listed by finish time.

With nine months of the year remaining and at least 6 more 3km road races scheduled by PPAC (and hopefully some other 3km races), athletes have the chance to build up their performances and aim to move up the ranking table, and at the end of the year awards will be given for performance and dedication in the Youth/Senior/M/F categories.

These races are great for youth and senior athletes alike. 3km is at the shortest end of what we can class as distance races, where the qualities of a well trained distance runner are still important, yet it is short enough for beginners and those who are building up their running level to come and enjoy taking part.

Good running and good luck for your next 3km race!

Developing Cambodian Athletics, One Step At A Time

photos courtesy of Tom Vosters Phnom Penh Athletics Club hosts Cambodia’s Next Top Runner 2020 Runners start the 5km road race Cambodia’s Next Top Runner (CNTR) is a competition organised by Phnom Penh Athletics Club (PPAC) to find out who is the best runner in Cambodia, combining long distance fitness, sprint speed and power, and middle-distance speed-endurance - and most importantly who has the dedication and commitment to turn up and complete the whole series of races. Our novel idea is to challenge all the runners over every track distance - to compare sprinters with long distance runners - in a single competition. The top runners chase the lead bike Full information and about the competition and PPAC can be found by: Subscribing to the YouTube channel and following the documentary series we’re creating: https://www.youtube.com/martinkendrik Liking and following the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cntr2020 Regularly visiting our website: https://cntr2...

PPAC-151 5km Road Race [7 September 2025]

Our September PPAC 5K was well attended, with many new faces and regular attendees showing up to test out their fitness. 23 athletes lined up to start the race including 9 Phnom Penh Athletics Club members, and 9 first timers! The race began at 6:03am in good running conditions with a slight breeze. This week we were glad to offer pacing for some of the popular time goals. Thanks to Hugo (Sub-20min pacer), Styvenn (Sub-22min pacer) and Jack (Sub-24min pacer) for their contributions. If you are interested in hitting a specific time goal at our next 5K race, let us know and we'll do our best to find a pacer if we can! In the men's race we saw Terence get out fast, showing his unmatched speed and helping himself to an all-time road course record of 16:24. The previous record of 16:42 was set almost five years ago by Pheara Vann, so it was exciting to see the record finally fall. Terence's running is a source of inspiration for many of our athletes, ...

PPAC-152 5km Road Race [2 November 2025]

For our November 5km we had 23 athletes taking the start line for what proved to be a fast race in favorable conditions. Cooler weather has made Phnom Penh quite pleasant in the last week, and the athletes on Sunday morning made the most of it. This week we had 10 PPAC members, and 2 athletes from SheRuns participating. The race kicked off at 6:02AM, and instantly took shape, with the finishing order already mostly established by the time the athletes made it through the first checkpoint. Race Report In the men's, Craig (1st) went out with a clear goal and was consistent with his pacing. Leading from the front all race and helping himself to a healthy PB in 18:09. Hugo (2nd) was next in line and added to his run of consecutive sub-20 performances, this time with a PB. Paul (3rd), reliable as ever, rounded out the podium with a sub-20 performance of his own. We then saw a flurry of men coming through between 22 and 23 mins with Guillaum...
