1. What an incredible experience – despite the heat. And am so impressed by how well you and Natalie did!

   • Hi Sarah,
     It was really hot!!!
     Tks & cheers,
     Rob

2. I am not much of a runner but if it meant spending time in this beautiful location I could be tempted, although I think I would need to start with the 3k run and join in with the kids.

   • Hi Tamason,
     Angkor Wat is incredible beautiful!
     Cheers,
     Rob

3. What a unique way to experience Angkor Wat! You two are such an inspiration! I love that the monkeys were the true winners, running faster than the athletes 🙂

   • Hi Andrea,
     The monkeys were crazy!
     cheers,
     Rob

4. I have been to Cambodia twice and both times I appreciated Angkor Wat. Lucky you had time to tour the place, learn the history and go on a marathon … I agree, good thing it was flat! I can’t even run 3km ( I still have to practice ) but if it were hilly, then perhaps I need more training. I really want to start running or biking already, I should… VERY SOON! 🙂

   • Hi Karla,
     You gonna enjoy the 3k race! Go for it!!!|
     Cheers,

5. Running in that heat sounds intense. However, getting to see the temples, elephants, monkeys, etc., makes it exciting. Nice going with the marathon Natalie, 92nd out of 1012. Congrats guys.

   • Hi!
     Yes, Nat did really well!
     Tks,
     Rob

6. I remember the heat and humidity from even now… and I last visited 10 years ago! A massive congratulations to anyone who can run the half marathon in those conditions, although of course, the surroundings are awesome!

   • Hi Dave,
     For sure the surroundings helped to cope with the heat.
     Cheers,
     Rob

7. How fabulous!! I’m not sure I would cope running in the heat, though definitely a pro that the whole course is flat. I think I would be too distracted by the beauty of the place though!! Congrats on such an awesome race 🙂

8. Hi Kathrin,
   Tks! It was a great experience indeed!
   Cheers,
   Rob

11. What a great place for a marathon! I am not a runner, but this looks appealing (minus the heat)!

14. I’m just starting to really get into running so when we were in Siem Reap this wasn’t on my radar at all. Now that I know this exists I’m very interested in doing this myself! Great job guys and well done!

    • Hey Ross!!
      We try to run as much as possible during our trips, sometimes is hard to find places to run or training but in other hand we find amazing competitions worldwide. So far Angkor Wat was one of the most beautiful races!! Next challenge will be the Chiang Mai Half Marathon, north of Thailand by the end of December!!
      All the best and thanks for stopping by!
      Nat

15. When we did this we came from training in South Korea which was freezing cold to the hot, humid weather! I had difficulty adjusting to the new climate as well as the new food during the race! You guys did great! That’s really cool you did the marathon in Paris as well! Thanks for sharing! Perhaps we should sign up for another somewhere else around the world!

    • Hi Megan,
      Our acclimatisation was easier since we came from Chiang Mai. Even though the heat was tough.
      We are now checking if there will be any race that matches with our travel plans 🙂
      Cheers!
