Don Janicki (born April 23, 1960) is an American long-distance runner.[1]

As a student at Mesa High School (Mesa, Arizona) in 1978, Janicki set the state high school record for the mile with a time of 4:09.95.[2] The record would remain 35 years until Andy Trouard of Salpointe ran a 4:09.71.[3] He later competed for the University of Arizona and earn All-American honors in 1980 and 1981 in cross country. During his 1982 track season, Janicki ran the 5,000 meters in 13:44.20 and the 10,000 meters in 28:27.87, putting him in the top 10 fastest University of Arizona runners in each event.[4]

In 1987, won the Holiday Bowl Marathon in San Diego, California. He drove away from the race with $4,000 in prize money and a new convertible.[5] The 1989 year took him to Minneapolis and St. Paul for the Twin Cities Marathon, which he won in a time of 2:12:18, earning him $25,000.[6]

Janicki ran his fastest marathon time in 1985 in the Chicago Marathon, which fielded strong competition with world-class finishing times.[7] Janicki's PR of 2:11:16 put him in seventh, four minutes behind British runner Steve Jones, who was hoping to set a second consecutive world record that morning. While Jones did take the win in 2:07:13, a minute faster than his previous world record the year before, it wasn't fast enough to beat Carlos Lopes's 2:07:12 set in April 1985.[8] Janicki's time was the fourth-fastest marathon time by an American in 1985.[9]

He won the Cleveland Marathon in 1993 and 1994 with times of 2:11:39 and 2:15:04 respectively.[10]

He was back in the top finishers at the 1994 Chicago Marathon with a fifth-place finish in 2:13:21.[8]

In 2016, Janicki was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame.[6]
