The 2024 Philadelphia Marathon belonged to runners from the home state of Pennsylvania.
Local Philadelphian Katie Florio won the women's division on Sunday with a time of 02:32:42.1, while William Loevner of Pittsburgh won the men's competition with a time of 02:16:12.
Here is a look at the top finishers:
Women's Top Finishers
- Katie Florio, 02:32:42.1
- Aberu Mekuria Zennebe, 02:33:26.0
- Elizabeth Chikotas, 02:35:28.1
- Anne Johnston, 02:42:49.1
- Stephanie Diacovo, 02:44:05.6
Men's Top Finishers
- William Loevner, 02:16:12.0
- Mulgeta Birhanu Feyissa, 02:16:38.7
- Rahal Bouchfar, 02:16:55.3
- Ben Fleischer, 02:20:55.8
- Jordan Daniel, 02:21:26.8
The 26.2-mile course started near the Philadelphia Museum of Art and wound through different areas of the city, including Center City, Old City, South Street, University City, Fairmount Park, East Falls and Manayunk.
That Florio was able to thrive comes as no surprise, as she told NBC 10 Philadelphia she runs the roads that are featured on the course twice a day.
While Loevner and Florio made the headlines, supporters delivered like only fans in Philadelphia could:
The sign being at Mile 4 is notable, as the rival Dallas Cowboys are just 3-7 on the season. They also might have difficulty getting that fourth win with quarterback Dak Prescott sidelined by injury.
One of those seven losses came in blowout fashion to the NFC East-leading Eagles in Week 10. They will face each other in a rematch in Week 17, and the Cowboys will surely hope Sunday's sign is inaccurate at that point.
