The next year, he took on the Cape Cod Marathon, crossing the finish line in 4 hours and 15 minutes, demonstrating resilience and endurance across multiple race formats.<\/p><p data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"1188\">What sets Charles apart is not just his race results, but his genuine passion for endurance sport.

This year, he delivered an impressive performance at the Cambridge Half Marathon, finishing in 1 hour and 40 minutes, a result that reflects both consistency and strength over long distances. His ability to execute on the run has consistently separated him from the competition and become a defining asset in his racing.<\/p><p data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"1143\">That run strength translated into a standout performance at Ironman Arizona, where Justin\u2019s disciplined execution and late-race strength contributed to a podium finish in November. With a clear long-term vision, he is now setting his sights on <strong>Ironman Lake Placid<\/strong> in 2026, while also preparing for the New York City Marathon later next year.
