Date: Nov. 7, 2026 Participant: Leon Lopez #1781 Race: 2026 REVEL Big Bear Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Leon Lopez comes back to Big Bear and nails the marathon debut with a strong negative split Leon was back at REVEL Big Bear after the 2025 REVEL Big Bear half marathon, and this time he took on the full trip down the mountain to Redlands in 3:14:37. He kept building all morning, running a faster second half in 1:34:23 after a 1:40:15 opening half. That strength really showed once the course dropped into its big descent. Leon hit his best stretch in the third quarter at 45:16, then stayed steady all the way to the finish chute. A sharp run from the pines to the foothills, and a fine way to make the marathon journey at Big Bear.
