AIA Pink Run 2026: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Phnom Penh)

What the AIA Pink Run actually is

This is a charity fun run, not a competitive road race. The distance is a flat, manageable 2.5km, which tells you the organizers built it for turnout and awareness rather than split times.

The cause is women’s health, and the run draws a mix of Cambodian participants and international runners based in or visiting Phnom Penh. Pink is the operative color: expect branded shirts, pink accents on signage and barricades, and a start-line atmosphere closer to a community walk than a marathon expo.

Where Botumvatey Pagoda Park sits

The run is staged at Botumvatey Pagoda Park in Phnom Penh. Pagoda parks like this one function as the city’s open-air civic spaces: paved paths, mature trees, and enough flat ground to lay out a start/finish chute and vendor tents.

If you know Phnom Penh’s riverside and central pagoda grounds, this is the same style of venue: a public park anchored by a Buddhist pagoda, used regularly for community events rather than sport specifically. That makes it walkable, and it’s the kind of place where you’ll see families, monks, and vendors sharing the grounds on any given morning, not just race day.

Locking in the date

Mark October 25, 2026 for the AIA Pink Run. That’s a Sunday, which fits the pattern of most Phnom Penh charity runs: early-morning start before the heat builds, wrapped up well before midday.

Because this is a single annual fixture rather than a multi-day festival, there’s no separate “packet pickup day” or expo to track down, at least none stated by the organizers. Confirm timing and tickets on the official site so you have the exact start time and any registration deadline in hand.

Getting to the park on race morning

Phnom Penh’s charity runs typically close nearby roads for a few hours around the start, so build in extra time if you’re arriving by car or tuk-tuk.

• Tuk-tuk or Grab (ride-hailing app) is the simplest way in from most hotels; have the driver aim for Botumvatey Pagoda Park by name.
• If you’re staying near the riverside or central Phnom Penh, the park is within a reasonable tuk-tuk ride, so you don’t need to leave hours early.
• Parking directly at the park is limited on event mornings given the road closures typical of these runs, so arriving on foot or by ride-hail is more reliable than driving yourself.
• Wear light, breathable clothing. Phnom Penh in late October sits at the tail end of the wet season, so a light rain layer is worth packing even for a morning event.

Registering and what to expect on the day

Entry to charity fun runs like this one is normally handled through registration ahead of the event, with a runner pack (bib, shirt) collected either on race morning or at a prior pickup point announced by the organizer.

Don’t assume you can simply show up and join. Confirm timing and tickets on the official AIA Cambodia site or its event partners, since that’s also where you’ll find the exact start time, registration cutoff, and any category splits (individual versus team entries, for instance).

Making a morning of it in Phnom Penh

Because the run itself only takes an hour or so to complete at a 2.5km distance, most participants treat it as the start of a longer day out rather than the whole itinerary.

Botumvatey Pagoda Park’s setting means you can wander the pagoda grounds afterward before heading toward the riverside for breakfast. If you’re new to the city, pair race morning with a visit to Wat Phnom or the Tonle Sap riverside promenade, both reachable by a short tuk-tuk ride, to round out the day while it’s still cool enough to walk comfortably.
