On the men's side pre-race favorites to make the team included two-time defending champion Rupp, Mantz, Young, Korir, Panning, Fauble, and Chelanga. Paul Chelimo, a two-time olympic medalist in the 5000m would be making his marathon debut and hoping to get on the team. Many considered Conner Mantz to be the favorite to win the trials, given his consistency in the distance over the last few years and being the top American in a deep Chicago marathon race in 2023.

It was a warm and sunny day in Orlando, with a temperature of 63 degrees at the start and 70 at the finish. Of the 200 men who started the race, 150 finished and 50 dropped out. At the front, Panning took the lead after 5 miles and pushed the pace. By 20 miles, he had whittled the leaders down to himself, Mantz, and Young. After running many miles in the 4:40s and 4:50s range, Panning would fade badly over the final 5K. Training partners Mantz and Young went 1-2 to secure their olympic spots. Leonard Korir would run down Elkanah Kibet over the last mile to take third.^[4] Since the US only had two spots unlocked by Mantz and Young achieving the olympic standard in Chicago 2023, Korir would have to wait to see if his ranking held up for him to go to the olympics. In June, Korir was confirmed to have earned the olympic spot.^[5]
