How is Speedrunning perceived as a viable subgenre of esports?

Since joining university in 2022, I’ve been active in both the esports and speed running community. Hosting a speed running marathon akin to GDQ has been a goal of mine since then. I’ve wanted to explore whether or not speedrunning could be perceived as a viable subgenre of esports.  This project explores the correlation between esports and speed running by hosting a 24 hour speedrun marathon as well as raising money for Macmillan Cancer Research.
