Date: Nov. 7, 2026 Participant: Nadia Balderas #1183 Race: 2026 REVEL Big Bear Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Nadia Balderas found her stride on the Big Bear drop Nadia Balderas came down out of the San Bernardino mountains and into Redlands with a strong 5:25:08 marathon, and she closed the second half in 2:41:53 after a 2:43:15 first half. Thats a fine way to use this course, staying with it and getting stronger as the road kept falling toward town. Her best stretch came in the middle of the race, with a 3rd quarter of 1:11:07, right where Big Bears long descent really starts to open up. And after all that downhill, she still had a sharp finish, covering the last 0.2 in 1:53 as she came through the line in Redlands.
