PPAC-148 1500m Track Race [1 June 2025]

Our June race was a smaller event, with 4 runners taking the line for the 1500m. The race began at 6:09am in good weather conditions.

The race report and full results are below. Our next race will be our Sokha 5K on 06 July. Please stay tuned to our regular channels for a race announcement.

Results
Hugo demonstrated his impressive speed to take 1st place in the men's, with a well-paced race and a blazing fast 74.9s final lap to clock in at 5:07.46.

First placed female, Anya, also ran a well-paced effort, getting a few seconds faster each lap and finishing with an impressive sprint to the line.

Thanks to the athletes who showed up this week, and to our volunteers Meyjou and Vincent. This event marked the milestone of 5 volunteer events from Vincent, a significant contribution and one the club is immensely grateful for!

We look forward to welcoming all of our club athletes, as well as competing clubs and the general public, to our July 5km race on 6 July at Sokha.

Pacing Analysis & Consistency
The table below shows split times and average pace per km for each section of the race. The Pacing Consistency rating is designed to give runners an idea of how well they have balanced their efforts across the whole race. Generally speaking, consistent, evenly paced efforts are the best way to achieve your fastest possible time.
Ratings below 1.00 indicate excellent pacing, and the lower the number, the better, in general, for optimal performance in highly aerobic running events like the 5km and beyond.

Pacing in track racing can be me even more critical since there is very little chance to recover from running sections too fast or slow relative to your optimal target pace.

Volunteers & Supporters

A special thanks as always to our awesome team of volunteer officials and helpers on the morning - Meyjou and Vincent - as well as all the weekly training session leaders!

We would like to extend our gratitude to all the club members, runners and supporters who made this running event a success and whose support allows us to continue to organise community athletics activities for all.

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...

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.
