Register Pricing Race schedule Event overview Sponsors About CLEAR ContactCLEAR Marathon Cambodia is designed as a financing mechanism that converts participation into unrestricted capital. That capital accelerates APOPO delivery from land clearance through agricultural transition and agroforestry systems into resilient rural livelihoods, while also delivering a ring fenced tourism development contribution to the City of Siem Reap.
CLEAR is a simple structure that represents the programme delivery pathway in Cambodia. The marathon funds this pathway by generating unrestricted capital that can scale implementation quickly.
The impact logic follows a clear chain from inputs to outcomes and longer term effects. Unrestricted surplus becomes programme capacity that drives income outcomes at household level and stabilises rural livelihoods over time.
Runner fees, sponsorship, corporate entries, and virtual participation generate net surplus after delivery costs and the tourism ring fence.
Programme resources support farmer cohorts, input packages, training, market linkage, and agroforestry establishment in priority provinces.
Increased farm productivity, diversified income streams, reduced input dependence, and improved resilience through tree based systems.
Base scenario assumes 5,000 physical runners and the stated event financial structure. Ten percent of net unrestricted surplus is allocated to Siem Reap tourism development. The remaining unrestricted funding is applied to APOPO programmes aligned to Minefields to Rice Fields and agroforestry transition.
| Base scenario | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Net unrestricted surplus from event | Approx USD 157,000 |
| Tourism ring fenced contribution | Approx USD 15,000 |
| APOPO unrestricted funding after tourism | Approx USD 142,000 |
| Households supported | 300 to 500 |
| Villages reached | 8 to 12 |
| Incremental income per household per year | USD 600 to 1,000 |
| Annual aggregate income increase | USD 300,000 to 500,000 |
| Five year income effect | USD 1.5 to 2.5 million |
Scale scenario assumes 15,000 runners with the stated event structure and economies of scale. Ten percent of net unrestricted surplus is allocated to Siem Reap tourism development. The remainder scales APOPO programmes significantly.
| Scale scenario | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Net unrestricted surplus from event | Exceeds USD 1.2 million |
| Tourism ring fenced contribution | USD 120,000 plus |
| APOPO unrestricted funding after tourism | Approx USD 1.08 million |
| Households supported | 2,000 plus |
| Villages reached | 40 plus |
| Five year income effect | USD 8 to 12 million |
The event funds a set of practical interventions that increase income and reduce risk for rural households. Outcomes are designed to be understandable and reportable without complex claims.
Minefields to Rice Fields enables farmers to move from unsafe or underused land into structured production with higher and more stable returns.
Agroforestry systems add tree based income streams and protect yields by improving soil and water retention and reducing climate exposure.
Resilient livelihoods reduce distress migration and strengthen community stability over time in areas affected by past conflict and land degradation.
Ten percent of net unrestricted surplus is allocated to the City of Siem Reap as a ring fenced tourism development contribution. Funds are released only after successful event completion.
CLEAR is designed to be credible. Governance controls protect funds, prevent premature distribution, and keep reporting simple and verifiable.
Every registration and sponsor commitment increases unrestricted funding for programmes and expands the ring fenced tourism contribution for Siem Reap.
