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 :)
Hello. can we have a marathon called Italianthon? It's an onsite marathon and it's only for fun. I'll provide extra infos if it will be necessary.

Italianthon rejected. Reason : TheGamerLand in disguise.
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?

Hello. Can I have a Team called: Fun Gaming? We are organizing a marathon and throughout years we are going organize more. Discord: https://discord.gg/P6XzT9P other socials will be set-up in a bit. 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.
Fun Gaming : rejected 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.
