CAREER NOTES:
Geoffrey Kiprono Mutai was the winner of the 2011-12 World Marathon Majors series. He clinched the title with a victory at the 2012 BMW Berlin Marathon in 2:04:15, the sixth fastest time in history
Mutai owns the number one time with his sensational 2:03:02 victory at the 2011 Boston Marathon. While aided by a tailwind, Mutai averaged a breath-taking 4:41.5 per mile.
He also set the course record at New York City in the fall with a 2:05:06 triumph. That time slashed 2 minutes 37 seconds from a CR that had stood for 10 years.
Mutai first tried the marathon at Eldoret, Kenya in December 2007. He reached the finish in 2:12:22 but given that Eldoret is at 6900 feet of altitude and the winning time there was 2:10:45, it is not likely the course was the full distance.
After winning two fall marathons in Eindhoven in 2008 and 2009, Mutai stepped up to a World Marathon Majors race at Berlin in 2010 and came within two seconds of pulling off an upset victory over Patrick Makau.
With his 2:03:02 (Boston) and 2:05:06 (New York City) in 2011, Mutai set a record of 4:08:08 for fastest two race total time in a single year. He also has five marathons of 2:05:10 or better and his average of 2:04:29.6 is the best ever.
PERSONAL NOTES:
Mutai is the oldest of nine children and was born in the Koibatek District in the Rift Valley Province. He says that running came to him naturally as a youth. Mutai is married to Beatrice with a daughter Ivy born in 2009. He is not related to 2011 London Marathon winner, Emmanuel Mutai.
