ADMIN UPDATE 4/14/2021:
With the release of the Support Hub, all marathon requests should now be submitted here - https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/supporthub/request-marathon

PREVIOUS MESSAGE:
Considering the increase in number of marathons happening, we decided to center all marathon requests in a single thread rather than having everyone creating their own thread to ask for a marathon page.
Also, this is a good opportunity to add some rules to the marathons requests :

• Your account must be more than three weeks old.
• You must have at least one run on your account, in a game that requires verification, and not self-verified
• You must provide as much information about the marathon as possible : onsite or online, purpose of the marathon, eventual supported charity, estimation of dates and duration, stream channel, list of mods... (these are examples).
• Marathons are to be requested at least two weeks prior, this is to allow enough time for us to add marathons and allow marathon hosters more time to setup.
• A marathon is required to be at least a full day in length, we will look into a marathons schedule near their starting period to verify if this is being met. The objective with this are to slow marathons down that cannot maintain a schedule, we also wish to note that playing extremely long games to fulfill the requirement is likely to be rejected.
• If the marathon is a self-hosting one (as in, you are doing all of the runs) this will be rejected.
• It is strongly preferred to have a charitable cause (as briefly mentioned above) there may be exceptions to this.

From now on, marathon requests must go through this thread.
Gyoo.

Hey, I'm looking to add a marathon called "Midwest Speedfest 2018"

It will be from August 3-5 2018 and be onsite. The purpose of the marathon is to raise funds for a charity, but that has not yet been decided due to it being a long time away.
It'd be streamed at twitch.tv/midwestspeedfest

I can add more info on anything else you need 🙂

Hi, I'm looking to add a marathon called Shots Fired: Overkill.

Shots Fired is an online speedrunning marathon which happens twice a year. It is a marathon exclusively for shooter games. We feature First Person Shooters, Third Person Shooters, 2D Shooters, and some more unorthodox shooters. Currently, we do not support a charity. To date we have had four events.

Shots Fired: Overkill will take place November 15-19 with the option of beginning as early as the 12th depending on the number of submissions. Submissions are planned for September 15 - October 20.

The marathon will be streamed to https://www.twitch.tv/shotsfiredmarathon. We have a discord at discord.gg/shotsfired and a twitter at twitter.com/shotsfiredlive

Not a request, but maybe you can help.
We have the BSG marathon ( http://www.speedrun.com/bsg/ ) and we re-use this every month for our new marathons. Unfortunately, after my colleague edited the schedule a few times, he got the following message when he tries to edit it again:

The marathon is already finished, you cannot edit the schedule. If you want to make a new marathon, please request one.

Is there a way we can gain control over it again?

@Riekelt We want to preserve past marathons, so in this case, I'll make a new one for you.

Soon, I'll be making "teams" that can add new marathons without the need to request one from us.

Looking to add a marathon to the forums - Questing for Glory

It is a team where every year we make a marathon free only for fun, and the schedules are going to be decided over time.

You're requesting this for Thell, because he just created his account, but he also happens to be yet another ban-evaded account of TheGamerLand, who's someone we don't want to see here in any way. Also I recommend you not to get in touch with him more than that, he's just that toxic.

Aight man i apologize for that, i actually wasn't aware of his real identity. I kinda thought he was tricking me somehow and i wanted see how far he would have pushed this bullshit. Again, sorry about this. Going to have a "nice" talk with this guy in private.

Regards.

Question: Do more narrow, niche marathons belong on SRC? I run an annual Castlevania speed showcase and I'm having trouble this time around with getting game submissions, but I didn't want to request a marathon thread for it if it's considered too niche.
