REVEL Big Bear
REVEL Big Bear is a road race held on November 7, 2026, in Big Bear, California. The event offers both a marathon and a half marathon over a point-to-point course that runs from the mountain and forest areas of Big Bear into the foothills near Redlands. The course travels through the San Bernardino National Forest and features a smooth downhill slope with a net elevation drop.
The course is certified as a Boston Marathon qualifier. The downhill profile and surface are noted for producing faster finish times and personal records for many participants. Logistics mentioned by participants include organized bus transport, aid stations, bib pickup, and start-line items such as blankets and gloves. Reports also note plentiful hydration, visible course safety measures, and volunteer support.
A portion of registration fees is donated back to the Big Bear community. The event is part of the REVEL series and participates in the Triple REVELer program, where completing any three REVEL full or half marathons in a calendar year earns an exclusive medal.
