Welcome to Liam’s 2024 Marathon. This page has all the details you could ever need about the upcoming marathon.
When is the Marathon?
The marathon will take place from November 29, 2024, through December 1, 2024, on both YouTube and the audio stream. Start and end times are still to be determined.

Is the Wheel of Pain Returning?
Yes, the Wheel of Pain will return. Donations unlock spins, which in turn unlock horrible tasks for me to do. These can range from fiery jelly beans to super sour candy, to some voting opportunities. See below for more details.
Who or What is Mr. Blender?
This year, we will be making an interactive smoothie together. Viewers will get to vote on ingredients to be placed into the blender. At the end of the marathon, I’ll blend all the ingredients together and drink it. This idea sounds a bit questionable on paper, but tune in to see how it turns out.
Will There Be Prizes?
Yes! Individuals and companies are strongly encouraged to sponsor the marathon with prizes. You will receive a mention on the sponsors’ section of this page along with regular advertising during the marathon. Please fill out this form if you are interested.
