The race brings the tiny Welsh town to a standstill |
The prize money for the winning runner has remained unclaimed until now.
Every year, the prize grows by £1,000 and Mr Lobb scooped £25,000 for running the 22 mile race.
"The first thing that I will do with the money is buy myself some decent training shoes," said Mr Lobb.
"Then I may take myself off on some training holidays before taking part in some marathons in the autumn," he added.
Graham Sharpe, spokesman for William Hill, said : "This is a fantastic achievement which I have always believed could be done in the right circumstances."
The first horse home was Kay Bee Jay, ridden by Zoe White, in a time of two hours, seven minutes, and 36 seconds.
Event organiser Gordon Green said it was a "fantastic day".
"It has been brilliant because it is our 25th anniversary this year.
"I've always thought someone would do it one day and today it happened.
"Everybody was excited by the win and I'm sure there is going to be a big party tonight," he added.
A memorial was unveiled before the race to Screaming Lord Sutch who had been a strong supporter of the event.
The race is run over 22 miles and takes competitors through some of the most picturesque scenery in Wales via farm tracks, footpaths, open moorland and tarmac.
