Course standards

Course design and marking

CLEAR Marathon Cambodia is delivered on a professionally measured and permitted course designed for clarity, safety, and speed. The course is supported by consistent marking, controlled decision points, and an operator led staffing plan.

Standards at a glance

Measured course Professionally measured and permitted route suitable for certification
Aid stations Placed about every 2.5 km with controlled entry and waste zones
Kilometre markers Large format markers every 1 km, designed for fast visibility
Decision point control Cones, barricades, split signage, and marshals before every key turn
Start corrals, pace separation, and a controlled finish chute reduce congestion and support clean timing capture and media finish moments.

Course objectives

The course is designed to be flat to moderately fast, easy to follow, and safe to operate at volume. Course operations emphasise repetition, clarity, and control at every runner decision point.

Fast and accessible Profile designed to support strong times across Half, 10 km, and 5 km
Simple navigation Multiple layers of guidance reduce wrong turns and confusion under crowd load
Safe operations Traffic control and controlled course interfaces prioritise runner welfare and public safety
Scalable footprint Designed to scale from 5,000 to 15,000 plus participants with controlled flow

Measurement and permitting

The course is professionally measured and permitted. The operator plan includes route verification, traffic and crowd management coordination, and published maps for runner confidence.

Measurement

Route is measured using recognised procedures and verified to distance requirements for Half, 10 km, and 5 km. The goal is consistent credibility and repeatability year to year.

Permits and coordination

Operator coordinates permits and route use with relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure traffic control points and public safety interfaces are defined and staffed.

Maps and runner clarity

Published course maps and split logic reduce confusion. On course controls reinforce what the map shows so runners can trust the route.

Marking and signage standards

Marking is layered to ensure visibility under stress and speed. The goal is that no runner makes a wrong decision because of unclear signage.

Kilometre markers every 1 km Large format, high visibility. Where appropriate, colour coded by distance to reduce confusion
Split signage for all distances Clear split signage for Half, 10 km, and 5 km supported by physical lane control
Turn control Cones and barricades at turns plus advance warning signage before decision points
Marshal positioning Marshals positioned before every decision point with instruction authority and escalation protocols
Safety posture Register Schedule

Aid stations and runner support

Aid stations are placed about every 2.5 km to support hydration and heat mitigation. Stations are designed for fast access, clear visibility, and clean waste handling.

Stations positioned for predictable spacing and strong runner confidence.
Controlled entry and exit zones reduce collisions and congestion.
Waste management zones protect route cleanliness and public safety.

Start corrals and finish chute

Controlled start and finish operations protect safety and improve the runner experience. Corrals manage congestion at the start and the finish chute supports clean timing capture and media visibility.

Start corrals

Corrals are organised by pace and category. This reduces compression and supports predictable early course flow for all distances.

Finish chute design

A clean finish chute controls speed reduction, prevents bottlenecks, and supports timing verification with a media backdrop for strong finish capture.

Staffed decision points

Operators position marshals before turns and splits to provide instruction, reduce wrong turns, and escalate issues fast.
