Naoki Kato vs. 2019 Naoki: the Big Bear rematch heads to the foothills Naoki Kato came down off the mountain and into Redlands in 2:47:58, good for 2nd in his age group. But 2019 REVEL Big Bear Naoki is still holding the bragging rights at 2:42:03, and you can feel another rematch coming. What stood out today was how strongly he used the course once it opened up: his second half was faster than his first, and that long descent from the forest into the foothills really played to his rhythm. A 1:22:16 second half is a terrific way to bring a marathon home on this course.
