There are a lot of short free speedrun games.. but if I have to recommend one.

I ran this game once in a race: OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS KNIGHT. It's short, easy to pick up and free downloadable on Steam.

Almost the entire Game Boy library has runs around 10 to 15 minutes. May be worth looking into the console.

Enjoy setting up Windows 3.11? Like Roguelikes? Want to create your own avatar using 8 bit color graphics and hard to use AND find programs?

Try Castle of the Winds! It's like regular roguelikes, only with 100% more undead grandfathers, stairs, and hilarious game breaking bugs! It's like a game... Literally!

Check out The King's Bird on Steam. It's a technically deep and rewarding platformer with a solid art style and tight controls. It has 80+ individual levels (with leaderboards) you can run at your leisure - in other words, it's not too much of a time commitment to practice running. https://www.speedrun.com/The_Kings_Bird

Also check out www.superninjaslash.com. It's yet another technically deep platformer, and one I happen to have the WR for. It's free, and it tracks your time in-client, so you don't need to use splitting software.

This thread is 2 years old I don't think they're still looking for recommendations.

Any eddynardo game is fun an easy, all are under 5 minutes. Also, the Moto X3M games are pretty short. Lastly, I would suggest Flip Knight by preatomic prince (i wont say any more because I know game advertising is frowned upon). This post is for people looking for games (mostly platformers). If you don't like them, look at other posts
