So many people love running marathons in every state that two groups exist to help members network and track such a goal.
50 States & D.C. Marathon Group U.S.A
The 50 States Marathon Club has 1,239 members in the U.S. and nine other countries, while the 50 States and D.C. Marathon Group U.S.A. has about 900. (And yes, they really do count the District of Columbia separately.)
The 50 States and D.C. group, founded in 1989, used to limit membership to those with marathons in 20 different states. A few years ago, the membership requirement dropped to those who have run marathons in 10 states.

Thanks for the post. I've always wondered how many different 50 states groups there were.
On a side note, I wanted to thank you again for linking to our running Blog Database on the main Faithful Soles web site, which has now grown to bloggers from 38 states in the USA and 21 other countries.
