Gaia Announcement

This posting comes from Gaia Discovery. My friend, Mallika is the editor of this future-orientated website that focuses on the ecological impact of our actions.

Join in the Angkor half marathon this 5-6 December 2009 and enjoy timeless Cambodian heritage.

Ho Chi Minh, 2 September 2009. A great success since 1996, the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon gathered 2,593 runners from 43 countries in 2008. This year the bar has been raised. Running for a good cause while discovering one of the most amazing UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Cambodia is the main attraction for the sporty traveller.

Part of the entry fees for the half marathon (10km, 5km or 3 km) and bike race will be donated to a charity fund used to produce artificial limbs for mine survivors in Cambodia, and to help in the prevention of HIV/AIDS among youths. In 2008, US$4,870 was raised - doubling 2007's achievements. We hope to raise even more funds this year.

Sports enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the Angkor half-marathon on 5-6 December 2009, in Siem Reap as Victoria Angkor Resort & Spa has created a special deal for participants and supporters.
