Dara Sakor coastal events 2025: evidence timeline for the festival and half marathon
This is an evidence chain from planned activity to completed event, not a promotional calendar. Public records establish that Dara Sakor hosted coastal-tourism and sports activity in 2025 and document the reported race format. Historical attention does not become 2026 registration, a fixed annual event or routine services. Readers can follow each stage to its source, while enquiry teams can use the final checklist to judge whether a future event is ready to share.

Historical-event use boundary：Event records separate announcements, on-site or result coverage, and closing reports. A historical event is not current access, an annual recurrence or an open registration offer; future dates, places, transport, stays and services require current organiser and government notices.
Evidence timeline
· Second Coastal Festival: Dara Sakor as a dated event setting
Evidence stage：Post-event public report
AKP reported a two-day second Coastal Festival in Koh Kong organised by the Dara Sakor resort. The public-news record establishes one held coastal-tourism event and a dated use of Dara Sakor as an event setting.
Airport, port and investment statements in the report are attributed to company representatives rather than independent status checks. One event does not establish everyday access, a next edition or routine services.
· Participant view: daytime camp, night stage and a later sea segment
Evidence stage：Khmer traveller post-event vlog
Cleat Pel published a 24-minute-03-second Khmer vlog on 18 March. YouTube's official 17-part full-length storyboard shows the festival entrance, beach, tents, stage, visitor interaction, food, night performance and sand games, adding a participant view beyond public-news coverage.
Later scenes include community shops, a port, small wooden boats, movement at sea and fishing. The sampled storyboard does not identify every location, and a Koh Sdach tag does not make the boat scenes Koh Sdach. A historical event is not a next edition or current camp, show or sea service.
· Half-marathon announcement: evidence of the plan
Evidence stage：Pre-event announcement
AKP announced a planned race for 30 November 2025 with half-marathon, 10 km and 3 km categories. This stage establishes that a public plan and registration context existed.
An announcement alone cannot establish completion, attendance or impact. Its categories must remain separate from the later result report.
· Race held: 21/10/5 km and roughly one thousand reported participants
Evidence stage：Post-event result report
TVK's post-event report confirms the race took place in Koh Sdach commune and lists 21 km, 10 km and 5 km categories with roughly more than one thousand reported participants. BTV published a similar account that day.
The attendance figure is attributed media reporting, not an audit by this site. The 5 km result differs from the pre-event 3 km category and remains visible as a plan-to-execution discrepancy.
· Closing report: the event ended while services still needed improvement
Evidence stage：Closing and policy signal
AKP reported the closing ceremony on 30 November and reviewed the multi-day coastal-tourism programme. Together with the TVK result report, it forms public evidence of completion and closure.
The provincial call for more diverse, safe and higher-quality tourism products also signals that event completion is not proof of mature everyday services. Future promotion must separate history from current supply.
Confirm the registration entity, payment counterparty, personal-data handling and emergency contact.
Confirm return transport, stay, weather cancellation, medical and insurance arrangements.
Only move a candidate event into distributable content after these checks are complete.
Frequently asked questions
Did the 2025 Dara Sakor Half Marathon actually take place?
Yes. TVK's 30 November 2025 post-event report records the place, categories and results, with a similar BTV report published that day.
Was the short race 3 km or 5 km?
AKP's pre-event announcement listed 3 km, while TVK's result report listed 5 km. The page preserves this as a public plan-to-execution discrepancy.
Is the roughly one-thousand attendance an audited count?
Not an audited count established by this site. It is an approximate figure in TVK and BTV reporting and must remain attributed and approximate.
Are the Dara Sakor coastal festival and race held every year?
The sources establish events in specific years, not a fixed annual schedule. A future date requires a current formal notice.
Can I register through the One-Map system now?
No. This page is a historical evidence and enquiry entry, not registration or payment collection. A future event can be shared only after the organiser, payment counterparty and rules are reviewed by the user.
