Distance runner Lamont Marshall has made an emphatic start to his 2026 campaign, securing a third-place finish in the Masters Division at the 44th Annual Cooper River Bridge Run.
Competing in one of the largest 10K events in the United States, Marshall navigated the iconic Charleston course in a time of 31:59. The performance earned him a spot on the divisional podium, proving his enduring quality against an elite field of veteran runners.
Even more impressive was Marshall's standing in the overall rankings. In a staggering field of over 31,000 participants, the Bermudian international crossed the line in 25th position, comfortably placing him within the top 0.1% of all competitors.
The Cooper River Bridge Run is renowned for its steep climb over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, a tactical challenge that Marshall handled with characteristic discipline. His sub-32-minute clocking provides a significant confidence boost as he looks toward a busy spring season of regional and international road racing.
For Marshall, who has long been a standard-bearer for Bermudian middle and long-distance running, the result in South Carolina serves as a clear signal that he remains a formidable force on the North American circuit.
