"Scientology Speedruns" are apparently the latest trend

spawned by social media in the last couple weeks. According to the YouTube Short below, Scientology Centers have been locking their doors and even removing door handles to block the intrusions. In one recorded speedrun the runner is seen knocking over stacks of banker’s boxes as he sprints through the facility.

From Wikipedia:

Scientology speedrunning, sometimes called a Scientology run, is a 2026 social media trend which originated on TikTok. Participants attempt to "speedrun" through Church of Scientology facilities, attempting to run in as far as possible before getting stopped while filming themselves.

The trend, which was inspired by video game speedrunning, began with a viral video posted on TikTok in March 2026. It quickly spread as creators attempted increasingly deeper and more disruptive incursions, resulting in police responses, media commentary, and the removal of many videos.
