William "Bill" Donakowski (June 21, 1956 - October 15, 2017) was an American distance runner. He represented the United States at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in 1979, 1981, and 1983. He was the men's winner of the 1986 Twin Cities Marathon. He is a brother of Gerard Donakowski.

Running career

Donakowski studied and ran at University of Michigan. At the 1978 Tennessee Dogwood Relays, he recorded 28:25.8 in the 10,000 meters.[1] He ran his personal best time over 10,000 meters at the 1979 Penn Relays, where he finished in 28:13.9.[1]

After his studies, he transitioned into a marathoner. He won the 1986 Twin Cities Marathon in a personal best time of 2:10:40, taking home $25,000 in prize money.[4] He was a pre-race favorite at the 1988 US Olympic Trials for the marathon, but dropped out due to a sore achilles tendon.[5]
