South Dakota Runner
The Marathoners

Sub 2:30 marathoners with South Dakota listed as their state of residence at time of marathon or grew up in South Dakota. I started this list because there were really good records kept in the early '80s by Runner's World. Hopefully some day, most years will be filled in and I'll have something similar started for women.
