In 2008, he joined Wellington Scottish Athletics Club and was selected for their men's A team to compete in the 2009 National Road Relay Championships being held on the Takahe to Akaroa course.
Carson has been coached by Arch Jelley who is known for coaching New Zealand athlete John Walker to international success including a gold medal in the 1500 m event at the Olympic Games in Montreal in 1976. Although Jelly retired from coaching in 2000, five years later, he agreed to coach Carson, who subsequently represented New Zealand at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the 1500 metres. Jelley retired from coaching once more in 2018.
In May 2016, Carson met the IAAF B standard for the 1500 m, making him eligible for selection to the New Zealand team for the 2016 Summer Olympics. In July 2016, Carson was confirmed as a member of the New Zealand team.
At the Olympics Carson finished eighth in his heat and did not advance to the semi-finals.
In March 2018, Carson was selected for the New Zealand team to the IAAF World Indoor Championship in Birmingham, UK. He ran the 3000m after qualifying in NYRR Millrose Games.

In October 2021, Carson joined the Belgian club Atletiekclub Lyra.
In March 2022 Carson was also selected to represent New Zealand at the 3000m at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade, Serbia but had to withdraw from the competition after getting sick with COVID-19 a week before the start of the competition. Carson was selected for the New Zealand team to the World Athletics Championships 2022 in Oregon, after achieving a 35-second personal best time of 13:17.27 in a 5000 m race in Spain in May.
