"It feels amazing, I'm honestly still in shock," Loevner said after the race. "I can't believe it, but I'm just proud of all the hard work I put in, and I ran to the best of my ability, and that was the win today, so I couldn't be happier."
The top Philadelphian on the men's side was David Troy, who finished in 2:22:58.
