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

What the AIA Pink Run actually is

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

The cause was women’s health, and the run was aimed at a mix of Cambodian participants and international runners based in or visiting Phnom Penh. The theme colour was pink, with branded shirts, and the format suggested a community walk more than a marathon expo.

Where Botumvatey Pagoda Park sits

The run was set 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 families, monks, and vendors share the grounds on any given morning.

Locking in the date

The AIA Pink Run was set for October 25, 2026. Phnom Penh charity runs usually start early in the morning, before the heat builds, and wrap up well before midday.

As a single annual fixture rather than a multi-day festival, it had no separate “packet pickup day” or expo stated by the organizers.

Getting to the park on race morning

Phnom Penh’s charity runs typically close nearby roads for a few hours around the start, which slows travel by car or tuk-tuk.

• Tuk-tuk or Grab (ride-hailing app) is the simplest way in from most hotels, and Botumvatey Pagoda Park works as a destination by name.
• From the riverside or central Phnom Penh, the park is within a reasonable tuk-tuk ride.
• 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.
• Phnom Penh in late October sits at the tail end of the wet season, with warm, humid mornings and a chance of rain.

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.

Registration for this edition was through AIA Cambodia and its event partners. Fun runs of this kind often split entries into categories, such as individual versus team.

Making a morning of it in Phnom Penh

At a 2.5km distance, the run itself takes an hour or so at most, so it fits easily into a longer day out rather than filling the whole itinerary.

Botumvatey Pagoda Park’s setting lends itself to a wander around the pagoda grounds, with the riverside close by for breakfast. Wat Phnom and the Tonle Sap riverside promenade are both a short tuk-tuk ride away, and mornings are the coolest time to walk them comfortably.
