_**What is Themeathon?**_
**Themeathon** is a charity marathon created by Lordmau5 and Jugachi in late 2016.
The main focus of the marathon is set on speedruns, the art to finish video games as quickly as possible.
It's going to be held online so anyone wanting to submit a speedrun themselves can easily be a part of the marathon.
All the money raised is going to go directly to the Save The Children organization.

_**But here's the twist:**_
What makes us unique in comparison to other's is the theme for every marathon.
During the intermissions we are going to be doing "our thing" on camera for you at home to enjoy.
That means we are acting out the theme and try to make the intermissions as entertaining as possible.
Additionally the layout, the alerts, the website and everything else is going to be different each time as well.
The only thing not affected by this is the limitation of video games that can be submitted to the marathon.

_**When is Themeathon?**_
This year's marathon is going to be held from the 1st of August until the 5th of August 2017.

_**Why should you be a part of Themeathon?**_
To make **Themeathon** a great and successful marathon it not only requires an organized staff team but also you as a participant
to show the world how far the limits of video games can be pushed!
