Date: Nov. 7, 2026 Participant: Brandon Obando #1937 Race: 2026 REVEL Big Bear Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Brandon Obando brought a strong mountain-to-Redlands rhythm all the way home Brandon Obando made his first REVEL Big Bear marathon count, finishing in 3:59:53 after a steady morning coming down from the pines and into Redlands. He really hit his stride in the middle of the race, with a strong 3rd Quarter in 57:20 as the course dropped out of the forest and into the foothills. That smooth stretch showed up again through the big descent, where he clicked off 8:37 at Mile 15 and 8:40 at Mile 19 before closing out the day at 9:09 min/mile overall. A sub-4 finish at Big Bear is always something to be proud of, and Brandon earned every bit of that finish-line welcome.
