The Mother Marathon (May 2009) was TheSpeedGamers' 2nd Mother themed Marathon. This was also their 10th marathon, and their 7th for charity. The timing and charity relation of the Mother Marathon was purposeful, the marathon started on the weekend after Mother's Day, it's the Mother series being played, and the charity is one predominantly associated with women. Their donation goal of $6000 was achieved May 17, at 10:00 AM CDT. It continued on to shatter the old donation record for the team. This marathon also featured the auctioning off of 4 Mother themed figures, 1 made by a community member, and 3 made by a member of Starmen.net.
Different things were done by commentators for donations in this marathon: Baltes shaved his legs, Chase ate worms, Rob ate a scorpion_sucker, Rust consumed a Vegemite and Syrup snack, Chuggaaconroy revealed his next Let's Play on Podcast 10, Britt announced the Mega Man Marathon (August 2009), and the inside of Phil's Hat was shown.
