The four race contests are the 16km Temple Run Angkor, the 32km Jungle Trail Angkor, the 64km Bayon Trail Angkor and the 128km Ultra Trail Angkor. The final race is a Nordic-style walk and is the same distance as the Temple Run.
Phoenix Voyages says competitors can enter the Ultra Trail as a four-person relay team. The only stipulation is that they need to join forces for the final three kilometres and cross the finish line as a group.
When the date for the second tourney was announced two months ago, a Phoenix spokesperson said runners would once again have the opportunity of competing with majestic temple ruins and unspoilt landscapes as a stunning backdrop. Entry details and fees can be found on the Temple Run Angkor website.
Angkor Archaeological Park is a sprawling complex and just a few kilometres from the Cambodian town of Siem Reap. 12GO ASIA offers travel ticketing choices from the likes of Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh and Bangkok to Siem Reap.
