Additionally, on Saturday 5 December 2009, there will be arranged Angkor Wat Bike Race and Rally.

Due to popular demand, a cyclo race has been introduced as an exciting new event where teams can rent cycles that later will be used as a pro-poor tourism initiatve which creates employment opportunities.
