The term "Death Run" came from Icepick66^[1] via their map of the same name^[2] made for Counter Strike: Source. However, the inspiration came from the Team Fortress Classic map, Heavy Machinery by PhillthyBoyee.

SCG originally ran the Deathrun plugin created by Oshizu^[3] and presently uses the Deathrun Redux mod created by ClassicGuzzi^[4]
