Running Clubs

Get out of the city. Run. Drink beer.

Phnom Penh has two running communities worth knowing about. One has been at it since 1992 and ends with beer in the countryside. The other keeps it in the city.

Phnom Penh Hash House Harriers (P2H3)

Every Sunday, a mixed group of expats and Cambodians meets at the Central Train Station and catches a bus out to the countryside for a 5–10km trail through rice paddies, villages and the kind of scenery you don't see from a tuk tuk. The route is marked by hares the day before, the running is at your own pace, and the whole thing ends with cold beer, water and soft drinks included in the fee.

This is not competitive running. It's social, it's genuine, and it's been one of the best ways to get outside Phnom Penh and meet people for over thirty years. Hash virgins are explicitly welcome.

📍 Meets: Central Train Station, Sundays at 2:15 PM

💲 $5 expats · $2 Khmers · Children under 12 free · Includes all drinks

🌐 p2h3.com · Facebook group →

Running Bongs

Phnom Penh's other running community — more city-focused than the Hash. If the Hash's countryside bus trips don't fit your schedule, the Running Bongs are worth a follow for local run announcements and meetups. At time of writing it is unclear whether the group is still actively organising runs, so check the Facebook page before making plans.
