Brits raise $100k after 300km Siem Reap run

Two Britons have this year taken the seasonal Christmas gift run to a whole new level by raising $100,000 for charity after running more than 300km across Cambodia.

Matt Pocock and Mark Ferguson, who both live in Hong Kong, began their unprecedented challenge to run from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, the province the Kingdom’s world-famous ancient temple complex is situated.

They began the run on November 27 and ran an average of 50km a day through rural communities across two provinces, Kampong Cham and Kampong Thom, for six days. They then wrapped up their mission on the seventh day by joining over 10,000 runners at the 21km Angkor Wat International Half Marathon on December 3.
