Watch as Lisa Schroeder recounts her excellent experience running the Angkor Wat half marathon on December 2, 2007.

 

 

The Angkor Wat temple complex lies near the city of Siem Reap and is overrun by a million-plus tourists every year.

 

 

The half marathon was started in 1996 as a way to raise funds to help landmine victims, of which Cambodia has too many.
