Cleveland marathon runner not only wins but also proposes to his girlfriend

The 2024 Cleveland Marathon is starting to wrap up and runners are starting to cross the finish line on St. Clair Avenue. ​And for the second year in a row, the first runner to cross the line in the full marathon is Will Loevner of Pittsburgh. The 2023 Cleveland Marathon champion defended his title at this year's race before immediately earning another title: fiancé. Loevner got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend — now fiancée — Emma Patterson, immediately after crossing the finish line in first place. 3News' Kierra Cotton was at the finish line and captured the sweet moment on camera.
