Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia is excited to announce that the 2nd Annual Kep Trio – Half Marathon, 10K Run & 10K Bike Ride will be held over the weekend of Saturday February 28th and Sunday March 1st 2009. The Kep Trio is a unique fundraising event, created by running enthusiast Nikki Wise, designed specifically to support the 5-year integrated community development project called Hand in Hand Cambodia. Held in January 2008, the 1st Annual Kep Trio Event was an amazing success with over 80 participants generating $54,000 in cash donations and delivering 50 new locally sourced bicycles to the community.

The Kep Trio 2009 will kick off on Saturday afternoon with the 10K bike ride, followed by the event dinner at luxury resort Knai Bang Chatt’s Sailing Club. The running portion of the event takes place bright and early on Sunday morning, with a staggered start for the half marathon and 10K runs. Participants from all events will run and/or ride from Kep through stunning rural Cambodian scenery to finish at the Chamcar Bei Community Learning Centre, where they will be greeted by the villagers and see first hand what the money they raised is helping to achieve. The fun-filled two day event concludes with a village celebration and awards ceremony following the completion of the running events on Sunday. Bike Event participants will also be presenting their bicycles personally to selected village recipients. An event not to be missed!
