SpeedRunners (the 2013 original, on Steam) keeps its art in plain files you can swap. For years skins were traded as zips on Discord servers and forum threads that are gone now. This archive keeps them in one searchable place - and the skin editor makes new ones without Photoshop, Blender or any installer: pick a character, recolour it, download, play.
It is run by the SpeedRunners 2 community, the people behind the DART mod. Game artwork is used with the developers' permission.
Questions
Can I still mod SpeedRunners 1?
Yes. SpeedRunners (2013) reads its art from .xnb files in the game folder; replacing a character's files changes its look in every match you see. Skins made here work with the current Steam version of the game.
How do I make a SpeedRunners skin?
Open the skin editor on this site, pick a character, click the colour swatches or drop your own repainted sheet. The editor generates the matching heads and win screen and downloads a zip you copy into the game's Content\Characters folder. No programs to install.
Where do SpeedRunners mods go?
Steam\steamapps\common\SpeedRunners\Content\. Skins live in Content\Characters\<Character>\ (animation_variantNN.xnb, heads.xnb, win_variantNN.xnb). Back up the originals; "Verify integrity of game files" restores them.
Do other players see my skin?
SpeedRunners 1 draws every player from your own files: you see your skin on yourself, others see their own files. Share the zip so friends can install it too. In SpeedRunners 2 the DART mod syncs skins between players.
