Date: Nov. 7, 2026 Participant: Jong Kim #1672 Race: 2026 REVEL Big Bear Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Jong Kim drops into Redlands with a brand-new REVEL marathon best Jong Kim came down off the mountain and into Redlands in 3:20:34, a new REVEL marathon best over his 3:29:33 from 2023 REVEL Big Bear. That is a strong return to this course, and a fine way to make the most of a cool Big Bear morning and that long run from the pines to the foothills. He also put together a negative split, with his second half in 1:40:16 after a 1:40:19 first half. Jong really leaned into the middle of the course, picking up speed as the route dropped toward town before bringing it home at the finish line.
