Sydney Sonic speedrun event fundraising for Cure Cancer next week

Say that ten times fast.

A Sydney Sonic speedrun event will take place at Fortress Sydney on 23 June, and will be fundraising for Cure Cancer’s Game On Cancer initiative.

The event is a collaboration between Five Star Games and local speedrunning unit AusSpeedruns.

“AusSpeedruns is proud to partner with Five Star Games to put on this exciting new Sonic State of Origins Plus event for all Australians,” said AusSpeedruns’ Ethan Levy.

“We’ve got the fastest and most incredible Sonic the Hedgehog speedrunners in our community, and they’ll be going head-to-head,” Levy continued.

The event will consist of 8 separate, point-scoring events inside Sonic Origins, with teams representing Queensland and New South Wales duking it out to become champions.

Tickets for the event are set at $10 AUD each, with “all parties involved in this event… donating proceeds to Cure Cancer.”

Good luck to those competiting, and have fun all those attending!
