Our third 5km race of 2024 set off for a slightly delayed 6:10 am start in tough conditions with 44 runners finishing between 19 and 41 minutes. We had a great group of runners with various levels, and experience, showcasing real grit and determination.
The race report and full results are below. See you soon for more fun training sessions and athletics events!
ResultsSoboros, Muyngim and Markus were the category leaders this week. Five runners with previously recorded times set personal bests (PB), improving on previous times by margins between 7.5s and 4:59, including two runners hitting sub-30 and sub-40 minutes, respectively, for their first time in a PPAC 5km race 👏.
We're always happy to see new runners try out the road 5km race, and
regular runners continue to improve, with consistent finishes and PBs across
all levels of performance. Several runners hit club milestones with Soboros clocking up a 20th event,
and Davide and Michele both running in their 10th event. Several athletes
also took part in their fifth event and we welcomed many PPAC
first timers – keep on running!

Full Results (detailed)
Analysis and Consistency
Runners produced five sub-1.00 rated
pacing performances – impressive given the warmth, humidity and strong
headwind coming upstream the Mekong. A further three scored sub-2.00 ratings
in what proved to be a challenging morning for maintaining the pace.
The Pacing Consistency rating is designed to give runners an idea of how
well they have balanced their efforts across the whole race. Ratings under
1.00 indicate excellent pacing, and the lower the number, the better, in
general, for optimal performance in aerobic running events.
Volunteers & Supporters
A special thanks as always to our volunteer officials and helpers on the morning - Craig, Seavleang, Kimkheang, Sivmuyleng, Jack and Neil with vital pre- and post-race support from Yonas, Michele and Meyjou!
We would like to extend our gratitude to all the runners and supporters
who made this running event a success and whose support allows
PPAC to continue to organise community athletics activities for
all.
