The Heart of America Marathon historical stats spreadsheet is officially updated for 1960–2025. Yes, that’s 66 years of sweat, splits, and questionable pacing decisions.

You can:
• Filter results on two different tabs
• Download the file
• Upload it to your favorite AI
• And start asking the hard-hitting questions like:
– “What was the most popular finishing time in 1978?”
–"Which runners have a streak and how long?"
–"Which runners have run the most HOAs?"
–"Trends of female vs. male finishes over the decades?"

Proceed responsibly. Or at least with snacks.
