I've started working on a rework of the games system. This prepares for a fully fledged leaderboards feature, with verification, filters, customization etc. Will take a while but looking forward to sharing it with you all!

I created the ultimate pace pal tool When going to the /live page, every run now has a big green button on the top right called "Commentary". This opens a panel with all info about the run you're watching that you need. Small thread below to explain all the things it does :)

wait this is so sick actually let's normalize writing your pb on your console or controller

Therun Downloads - the better way to manage your files. - All new Downloads tab - Upload and download your layout (.lsl) files - Get Cloud backups of different version of your split files - Managable from your profile, and from runs pages Read on for more info 👇

tf you mean 1000 speedrunners i can barely name like 7

We're in the clear! Thanks to overwhelming support, we can now once again pay for server costs, plus build an additional buffer for the future! As a token of thanks to therun's supporters, I made changes to the supporter perks. You can now fully customize how your name is displayed on the site!

Hey everyone, I need some help. If possible, please share this. Running therun dot gee gee has been an amazing passion project for 4 years. It’s always been 100% free, ad-free, and I never sell your data. I love building new features for this community and I have so many more ideas to grow the site

Lately I've been noticing that the runs on the frontpage are established runners who are on good pace. Today, this changes. From now on, the live page will only include players with less than 10 viewers. Also, if you are more than 10 seconds ahead of PB, you are excluded.

The LiveSplit component has been updated. - You can now test if your key is working - Added some handy links, info and tooltips - You can disable uploading every reset. If disabled, it will upload on closing LiveSplit. - Small notification when stats sync (can turn this off) Hope you like it! 🐇

COMING OUT OF LEFT FIELD FOR THE BOUNTY

Hello everyone I made a new topbar and that should make it easier to navigate the site!!! Hope you like it otherwise there's nothing I can do sorry

I have added a tool called the Runs Explorer. It allows you to find any finished runs on the site. You can filter by game, category, user, date, final time (RTA and IGT), or to only show PB's For example: here are all 35 runs in TCS Any% with a time of under 2:20! Link below👇

After launching the new front page, the rest of the site is now touched up and converted to the new house style! Gold, green and red, just like your runs. Check out the new live page, for example:

🔔BIG NEWS🔔 The new frontpage is now live! It contains: - Live runs with a cool carousel - Your stats - Personal bests - Trending games - Races - Community stats (+ all time!) - Cool quick links - Re-arrangable! Go visit now, I hope you like it! Thanks so much everyone!🐇

The new frontpage is almost finished. I'm processing feedback from supporters of the site. Looking forward to sharing the improved home page with you all! Here's a little preview of one of the panels of the new frontpage

Would a feature like this be fun or predatory? What if it was a weekly streak? Would love your thoughts

BIG things are going to be happening this year

Amazing news! @cryze92.bsky.social, who is a big part of the team over at LiveSplit, has built integration to therun from LiveSplit One. That means you can now get live stats and therun integrations right from your browser. CryZe created the video below. Everyone say thanks to CryZe!!!

Here's some cool stats about the current state of the data on the site: Mario 64 is about to hit 5 million attempts processed by therun. At the same time, Mario Odyssey is getting very close to 1 million attempts.

Racers, I made some changes to ratings: 1) Your first few races in a category, you will gain/lose more rating than before. This effect diminishes after doing more races. 2) When you finish close to someone, you will lose less rating than before. Thanks for racing, hope you like these changes!

Hello friends I have spent many hours improving the search functionality and now we have a good search functionality :) i even made a cute little gif to show you, please watch it and go to my website to use my search

I've added some sort and filter options on the live page. You can now filter if someone is streaming, currently on a run, and currently on PB pace. You can sort by things like run length, name, game, or how far a runner is ahead of their PB. Have fun watching!

FIVE THOUSAND races have been finished on therun. On to 10k!!

Another cool feature of the new frontpage: view which races are upcoming, ongoing or finished. Start a race right from the home page. Coming soon!

New home page is starting to take shape. One of the panels on the home page shows a summary of your runs for the current month and week.

Your 2025 Speedrun Recap is ready! We compiled some of your stats into one cool big page. How many golds did you get? How many PB's? You reset way too much, didn't you? Go check it out now, and come share your personalized 2025 graphic! Link in replies 👇

Race moderators and creators can now set the time for other users in the races. Makes it easier to manage races!

Hi friends, I have resumed working on the website. It is now possible to disqualify a player from the race if they are AFK or if they submitted an incorrect time. This can be done by the creator of the race, or by race admins. Thanks!

i played sm64 at the nintendo museum in kyoto and failed every single trick i tried 😎

Picked up some cool stuff in Japan and won a ditto at the crane games lfg

I haven't been able to work on therun much in the last few months. I'm in Japan at the moment for a month. When I get back, I will resume work on the site. Thanks!

SPD2025 comes to a close, what a crazy week! We raised so much money for St. Judes! (15,789.00 a new record!) Thank you to everyone who participated this year, came back, and helped us tackle cancer one glitch at a time! Here's to next year!

WE LOVE SPEEDTEMBER

Happy Week #45! It's a quick one this time, but some wild records have been broken in the last seven days. Minecraft (Random Seed), Skies of Arcadia: Legends (Any%) and Getting Over It (Glitchless) all stood for well over a year. Check them out! 🔗 goldsplit.substack.c...

Happy Week #39! In this week's major story, Mario has a completely new ACE up his sleeve! 🃏 We're also treated to a SummoningSalt history video, Twitch delaying the Vodpocalypse, a scientific literature review, event news, and more! 🔗 goldsplit.substack.c...

Happy Week #38! This week's headlines include SCIENCE and MAGIC, and I'm not even trying to bait clicks. But even if you're into neither, there's plenty more on offer: a grand finale, a new glitch, tournaments, event news and much more! 🔗 goldsplit.substack.c...

I shared a new update on Patreon -- but everyone can read it! It's a little preview of what you get if you support us :) It talks about what we've been working on this year, and what we will be working on now. Admin panel, Open Source news, Events, new front page!! Link below!!!

Hi speedrun friends and community leaders! I've noticed that discovering speedrun events is very difficult. There's no good way to search for events with appropriate filters. I decided to build a tool for this. I already have a working prototype and I think it can offer a lot of value. 👇

wtf was that silksong reveal lol

So this Aethermancer tournament we hosted finished with the top 5 within 13 seconds. This game is pure rng. HOW???? also i got 6th :D

Had a good time at BSG!!!

WE STARTED A SPEEDRUN CATEGORY FOR THE AETHERMANCER DEMO BTW LMAO if you enter the Next Fest Speedrun Competition and get the top run we're literally putting a statue dedicated to you in the full game top 5 also get the game for free

So sleep deprived me made this half assed python script with the help of the other SRDC regulars that lets you check all of your submitted runs for Twitch highlights and then offers you to download those to your harddrive all at once and possible bugs. github.com/Matse007/Spe...

By now you've probably already seen this, but it's important enough to keep sharing: Back up your Twitch Highlights to a hard drive or to Youtube ASAP! If you know any runs from others that need to be archived, please do so. The library will burn, let's take out the books first!

Proud to announce we've partered up with @moiraigames.bsky.social and @offbrand.games to host a Speedrun Competition for their newest game: Aethermancer! First place gets an actual ingame statue dedicated to them. Honestly that's so sick I can't get over how sick that is It starts February 24th!

After @tharixer.bsky.social's 30-person Spyro race, there's now a 34 (!!!) person Mario Party 8 race going on, hosted by Jhay. AND IT'S CHAOS FOLLOW IT HERE: therun.gg/races/8iko

WHAT JUST HAPPENED WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

GDQ is looking for commentators to help during our English restream of @speedons.fr! Commentators will be compensated for their time, and maximum of two commentators per run will be selected. Applications close Feb. 11, 11:59PM EST Learn more and apply here: forms.gle/4CBYTNFMvQnm...

Wtf you guys raced TEN THOUSAND hours already? addicts

Turns out the idea of seasonal leaderboards is really popular... INTERESTING 🤔
