Awesome Games Done Quick video game charity marathon returns this weekend in Orlando, celebrating its 10 year anniversary.

Games Done Quick, a grassroots organization known for its speedrunning charity events, will be hosting Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) 2020 at the DoubleTree Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando in Orlando this weekend.

Awesome Games Done Quick is a week-long, 24-hour speedrunning marathon where gamers beat video games as quickly as possible, all while supporting Prevent Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention and early detection of cancer.
