🎮 Game: Trials Rising
📍 Event : Custom Track Showcase at a Charity Marathon
Trials Rising Custom Run at the 2025 Charity Marathon
The fifth and most recent edition of the annual charity speedrunning marathon took place from February 27 to March 2, 2025, at the Centre de Congrès in Lyon, with a live audience.
On Sunday afternoon, the spotlight turned to Trials Rising with a custom track showcase run by ShinFenix, featuring a hand-picked selection of Track Central tracks, all themed around video games. Commentator DamDam returned once again, this time again without Chaaampy, who was invited but ultimately unable to attend.
As in previous editions, a donation incentive allowed viewers to unlock additional bonus tracks, some of which were created by renowned track builder, Trials France team member and former Redlynx employee Kailiman.
Community Impact
This Trials Rising appearance was highly anticipated due to renewed public interest sparked by French streamer Zerator, who had previously included the game in both ZLAN 2021 and ZLAN 2024. His influence helped reintroduce Trials Rising to a wider audience.
Notably, popular streamer Etoiles (with over 1.2 million followers) attended the event in person specifically to watch the Trials run, further highlighting the significance of the showcase within the broader gaming community.
Fundraising Result
The 2025 marathon raised a total of €2,231,146 in donations, once again in support of Médecins du Monde.
