HAMILTON, Bermuda (CMC) — Organisers have confirmed Jamaican runner Stephen Allen as the winner of one of the coveted Triangle Challenge titles after he triumphed in a mile race and posted high finishes in the 10-kilometre race and half-marathon during the Bermuda Marathon Weekend.

Allen, a 32-year-old Bermuda policeman and part-time football referee, posted a combined time of one hour, 52 minutes and 20 seconds for the three races, finishing almost seven seconds ahead of Bermudian Spencer Butterfield.
