Stephen Philp from AusSpeedruns commented on the news, stating: “AusSpeedruns is proud to bring the Australian Speedrun Marathon back to Adelaide for another year of speedrunning, community and charity. ASM has always been about more than playing games quickly. It is about bringing people together, celebrating the skill and dedication of our runners, and using that energy to make a real difference. We’re thrilled to once again support Game On Cancer and help fund bold new ideas in cancer research.”
Tickets are A$40 and are now available through the AusSpeedruns website, with donations to the fundraiser able to be made online throughout the event.
