Register Pricing Race schedule Event overview Sponsors About CLEAR ContactAn international Half Marathon, 10 km, and 5 km in Siem Reap designed to generate significant unrestricted funding for APOPO Minefields to Rice Fields and agroforestry based land transition programmes, while delivering a direct ring fenced contribution to Siem Reap tourism development.
Francophonie Summit sessions typically begin at 09:00. Race operations are designed to conclude before that window, capturing delegates already in Siem Reap while creating a high profile public moment that connects destination value with rural recovery.
Professionally measured and permitted course with kilometre markers every 1 km, aid stations about every 2.5 km, cones and barricades at turns, marshals before decision points, and a clean finish chute with media backdrop.
Physical runners on a certified course plus global virtual runners. Separate physical and virtual leaderboards, individual and corporate categories, and tiered pricing that monetises experience and access.
The marathon converts participation into flexible unrestricted capital that scales the CLEAR pathway, with a capped prize envelope, outsourced delivery, and ring fenced tourism allocation released only after successful completion.
CLEAR reflects APOPO Cambodia programme pathway from clearance to long term rural resilience. The marathon is the financing mechanism that enables this pathway to scale while making the story immediately understandable to runners, sponsors, and partners.
Each letter maps to a real delivery stage. This structure also makes the event easy to communicate across media, sponsor materials, and on course signage.
The race morning is designed for clean flow, controlled decision points, and a medical posture appropriate for heat and volume. A clear escalation authority is built into the operator plan.
