PPAC-150 4x400m Mixed Relay [10 August 2025]

Last Sunday we organised a 4x400m Mixed Relay track event with the intention of bringing a diverse range of athletes together in teams. We were happy to welcome athletes from Sametra Youth Sports and Amatak Crossfit, as well as plenty of our PPAC club members.

Each team of four was required to have at least 2 female or youth athletes. Some athletes had arranged pre-formed teams, while others were formed on the morning based on the available pool of individual athletes.

The session started with a technical demonstration from Coach Meyjou on how to properly pass the relay baton within the exchange zone, and some general tips on racing order and how to work together most efficiently.

The teams proved to be quite close, with only a handful of seconds separating each team at the finish. It was great to see not only an exciting track race, but also the camaraderie between athletes and the new friendships that were formed.

Our next event will be a 5km race at Sokha, on 7th September, stay tuned for more information.


A special thanks as always to our awesome team of volunteer coaches, officials and helpers on the morning - Meyjou, Craig, Jack, Vincent, Sivmuyleng, and Sokpisey Sreyleak & Chanbunma, assisting for the first time, as well as all the amazing weekly training session and group 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-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-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...
