Date: Nov. 7, 2026 Participant: Sammy McCrary #1834 Race: 2026 REVEL Big Bear Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Sammy McCrary vs. 2023 Sammy: Big Bears favorite mountain rematch Sammy McCrary, a Big Bear regular, came down out of the San Bernardino high country and finished this mornings marathon in 4:17:43. His 2023 REVEL Big Bear self still has the bragging rights at 3:36:12, but that just makes the next trip off the mountain feel like a rematch worth watching. He opened smoothly with a 1:02:01 first quarter, then found another nice stretch through 25km in 2:29:39 as the course dropped toward the foothills of Redlands. Team Boat Snacks had another strong finish-line moment today, and Sammy earned every bit of that iced towel.
