1,500 runners and participants from across Cambodia came together this morning for ISF Charity Run 2026, celebrating 20 years of ISF Cambodia while supporting educational opportunities for vulnerable children.

Families, friends, colleagues, running clubs, corporate teams and community members filled the streets of Koh Pich and Koh Norea with energy and purpose, turning the annual charity run into a powerful celebration of community spirit under this year's theme, “Community Run. Children Thrive." 

The event highlighted the growing power of community action in Cambodia, with participants from all walks of life running side by side in support of a shared vision: a brighter future where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

More than a sporting event, ISF Charity Run 2026 demonstrated how simple acts of participation can create meaningful social impact. Every runner represented another step toward expanding educational opportunities for Cambodian children.

This year's event held special significance as part of ISF Cambodia's 20th Anniversary celebrations, marking two decades of empowering children and families through education, sport and community development.

Over the past twenty years, ISF Cambodia has supported thousands of children to access education, develop life skills and build brighter futures. The Charity Run has become one of the organisation's signature community events, bringing people together each year to celebrate impact while investing in the next generation.

Chourp Vicheka, Chief Executive Officer of ISF Cambodia, said:

This event reminds us that lasting change happens when communities come together with a shared purpose. Today, more than 1,500 people chose to run not only for themselves, but for the future of Cambodian children. As we celebrate ISF's 20th Anniversary, we are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to stand alongside us in creating opportunities through education.

The theme "Community Run. Children Thrive." reflects ISF's belief that stronger communities create stronger futures for children.

By bringing together individuals, families, businesses and community organisations, the event encourages social responsibility while demonstrating the collective power of people working together to support education. Every participant, volunteer and supporter played a role in helping children access opportunities that can change their lives.

Corporate participation also continued to grow, with over 20 brands and companies supporting ISF Charity Run 2026 through sponsorship, team participation and community engagement initiatives. Their partnership reflects the growing commitment of Cambodia's private sector to investing in social impact and the wellbeing of future generations.

ISF Cambodia extends its sincere appreciation to all sponsors and partners whose generosity and collaboration helped make this year's event possible.
