Matt Richtman, an Illinois native, was the victor in what was the second-largest field in the race’s history, per ABC7. He ran 2:07:56, and bore an American flag after crossing the finish line.
Ethiopia’s Tejinesh Gebisa Tulu won the women’s race at 2:30:16.
"It’s definitely a surprise," Richtman admitted after winning the race, per ABC7. "You know, I came in feeling really good; it’s really hard to judge where you stack up against competition, but it was a really good group out there today, and I was really happy to run with those guys and then ultimately win it."
Richtman was in front of Kenya’s Athanas Kioko, who finished in second with a time of 2:10:55, while fellow Kenyan Mose Kiptoo finished third at 2:13:13.
Richtman, who was a Montana State University Bobcat in college, added that he really "didn’t have too much of a strategy" to come away with the win.
"The first half I just wanted to stay in that group, didn’t really want to push the pace or lead or anything like that, just kind of stay, feel it out, ‘cause it’s a challenging course.
"The whole race I was running with a little bit of fear. It’s tough when you can’t see what’s going on behind you."
Fear clearly pushed Richtman into whatever gear he needed to keep the pace and cross the finish line first.
Richtman sent his appreciation out to those in the city of Los Angeles who were cheering him on throughout the race.
"It’s such a great day, you know, the 40th anniversary (of the race), there’s so many legacy runners out here, and the crowd out her was amazing," he said. "There were people throughout the whole course and it really helps. It's amazing how much a crowd can change the course of what you’re doing."

BOURNEMOUTH are confident of beating Big Six clubs to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher this summer.
The Republic of Ireland international wants to leave Anfield to get first-team football, and may have played his last game for the club in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.
Caoimhin Kelleher is wanted by Bournemouth and several other Premier League sidesRex
Bournemouth are ready to move first however, putting them in pole position, as manager Andoni Iraola has made signing a goalkeeper a priority with Kelleher his top target.
Iraola has used on-loan goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga for most of the season, but there is no obligation to buy in the loan contract with Chelsea and his performances have been mixed.
The Spaniard was dropped by Iraola earlier in the season for another young Irish goalkeeper, Mark Travers, who is now on loan at Middlesbrough.
Iraola regards Kelleher as a big improvement on both his current goalkeepers and has asked Bournemouth to move quickly when the transfer window opens in June.
Chelsea have also expressed interest, but will not commit to making a bid at this stage.
Boss Enzo Maresca wants to back his current goalkeepers, Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, despite the doubts of others at Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham’s goalkeeping position is also unclear, with Guglielmo Vicario, Fraser Forster and Antonin Kinsky all being used by Ange Postecoglou this season.
And while Newcastle want an extra goalkeeper and like Kelleher, the club’s PSR problems mean they may not be able to meet Liverpool’s £30million asking price.
Bournemouth may also be able to offer European football as Iraola’s side are currently ninth in the Premier League, but Kelleher does not regard that as essential.

Kelleher’s priority is securing a move to a Premier League club that can provide regular first-team appearances after his career has stalled at Anfield through no fault of his own.
The 26-year-old has played 17 matches so far this season, but has been restricted to appearances in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since Alisson Becker returned from a hamstring injury in December.
Liverpool are aware of Kelleher’s frustrations and will not stand in his way.
Arne Slot has already signed Kelleher’s replacement, with Georgian international Georgi Mamardashvili due to arrive from Valencia at the end of the season.
