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.

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-149 5km Road Race [6 July 2025]

For our July 5K we were pleased to welcome several new participants for their first event with Phnom Penh Athletics Club , including athletes from Sachkam  Running Club. The race report and full results are below. Please stay tuned to our regular channels for our next race announcements. Results This Sunday PPAC was back for another terrific 5K race at Sokha. In an attempt to beat the morning sun, the race started at 5:49 AM with 18 speedy runners taking the line. For this race, we were fortunate to have some PPAC members offer themselves for pacing duties; Jess (Sub-30), Mark (Sub-25) and Hugo (Sub-20). Their pacing had an obvious impact, with strong pace packs forming during the race and a number of people reaching their goals thanks to the pacing. At the front of the race, Hugo led a pack of six runners through the Park Lap running at sub-20 minute pace. The group gradually lost a few, but Paul (1st p...

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, ...
