Celebrating 10 Years of Speed

Stephen Philp from AusSpeedruns said:

“AusSpeedruns is proud to present the Australian Speedrunning Marathon 2025 – our tenth anniversary and the biggest celebration of the Australian speedrunning community to date. We’re very proud to be raising funds for Game On Cancer® to help make this the last generation to die from cancer. We’re thankful for the assistance from AORUS for this event, and the ways in which their support has helped to make this event possible.”

In 2024, the event raised over $30,000, and to date, the AusSpeedruns team has contributed over $100,000 to life-saving cancer research.

Alexandra Lynne, Gaming Campaign and Content Manager at Cure Cancer, said,

“We are absolutely delighted to be working with the AusSpeedruns team, once again, for another Australian Speedrun Marathon. Last year at ASM2024 the incredible AusSpeedruns community raised more than $30,000, and to date the team have raised more than $100,000 to support life-saving cancer research across a number of different events.”
