@RastaBobby - 8 hours is a bit short, we generally require marathons to be at least 24 hours long.

Hekathon is a marathon organized by a few speedrunning friends to raise money to help those who need it get to ESA Summer. Any left-over money goes towards a donation during ESA summer. This is the fourth year in a row we've held it. This will require a donation tracker.

@Liv Thanks so much! That is the right Heki, haha.

I've updated the settings you were asking for and here's the info again in case you needed it:

I apologize if this isn’t the right place to ask- Is there a list on SRC of upcoming / planned marathons? Besides this thread and searching the site for a specific name, is there any other way to see a list of upcoming speedrunning events? Any help or insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

Name: GamesDoneBadly 2020 Venue: Online Charity: Direct Relief (COVID-19) Date: From May 29th-30th (May change by a few days based on how many runs are submitted) Mods: me, @TheBadSpeedrun and @Cuboe Stream page: https://www.twitch.tv/gdb2020 Thanks!

@EdTheRedHead - Done, @TheBadSpeedrun will need to enable Email Authentication in their account settings before they can be added: https://www.speedrun.com/gamesdonebadly-2020

Texas, USA

Marathon: Speed Stuff 4 Charity 7 Type: Online Marathon Purpose of Marathon: Speedruns, glitch exhibitions, and more to raise money for charity! Charity: Direct Relief (most likely, haven't made a firm decision but this is the leading choice). Dates: Sept. 4th - 6th 2020 (potentially the 7th depending on amount of submissions/length of runs as it's a holiday weekend for the US). Stream Channel: https:/​/​www.​twitch.​tv/​speedstuff4charity Mods: Myself, @nes, and @piner

Notes: Figured I'd add in that we've had 3 past marathons added before, being Speed Stuff 4 Charity - Winter 2018 (/ss4c-w18), Speed Stuff 4 Charity 5 (/ss4c5) and Speed Stuff 4 Charity 6 (/ss4c6). I am wondering who/where I can request to make a marathon team (see: https://www.speedrun.com/degendash) if that's at all possible? I know Pac used to do that kind of thing a while back, not sure if that's still applicable now and what the requirements are for qualifying to have a marathon team on SRC.

If any other info is required, please let me know!
