The marathon as well as the 64 and 128-kilometer races were qualifying for the prestigious “Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc” races.

On the podium of the 128-kilometer Ultra Trail of Angkor, the first place was won by the famous French competitor and official sponsor of the third edition, Christophe Le Saux, who finished the race in 14 hours, 15 minutes and 14 seconds.
