Over there at SpeedDemosArchive there's a cash bounty for the first person to do a good speedrun of Giants.
If you're interested beware that the quality requirements are rather high since the aim is to get a speed run *accepted*. You need to achieve good gameplay quality (better than the average experienced player; this includes using every known beneficial trick excluding those that are explicitly forbidden such as cheats) and good video quality.

To clarify a few things:
* Using fan-made patches is generally not permitted. There are exceptions but anything that alters the game mechanics beyond what's possible in official versions certainly won't be accepted.
* Besides that, you can use any official version you like, including the unpatched retail version to abuse glitches they fixed later such as the turbo map glitch.
* Tricks and glitches may be freely used and must be used if they are beneficial. Thus using rocket jumping or the turbo map glitch are perfectly legal.
* Cheats and trainers, including 1.0/1.1 debug mode, aren't allowed.
