Communities[edit]

http://quake.speeddemosarchive.com/quake/ is where speedrunning was born. Updated infrequently but still the main authority. There are also tons of custom map speedruns, guides, resources and a forum.

https://www.speedrun.com/quake hosts official statistics on runs of the original game (whole and separate by map). They also have guides and resources.
