Cosmas Muteti (born 16 May 1991), full name Cosmas Matolo Muteti, is a Kenyan long-distance runner specializing in marathon events. He has achieved victories and podium finishes in various international marathons.

Career

[edit]

Cosmas Muteti began his marathon career around 2017. His personal best in the half marathon is 1:08:19, set in December 2016.[1] He also has a 10,000 metres personal best of 31:43.8h from February 2021.[1]

Muteti's breakthrough came with his victory at the 2022 Vienna City Marathon, where he set his marathon personal best of 2:06:53. This was the second-fastest time in the event's history and marked the 50th sub-2:10 finish at the Vienna City Marathon.[2][3][4][5] He chose not to run with Oqbe Kibrom Ruesom, saying "I knew he was strong. But I decided not go with him at 30k and run my own pace instead. I hoped to close the gap slowly".[6]

In 2017, Muteti won the Kuala Lumpur Marathon (2:18:42) and the Perlis International Marathon (2:24:19).[7][8]

The following year, he won the Bali Marathon with a time of 2:15:25.[9][10] He won the Kilimanjaro Marathon twice, in 2018 (2:17:00) and 2019 (2:18:16).[10][11]

Muteti recorded a 5th-place finish at the 2021 Berlin Marathon with a time of 2:08:45, a personal best at the time.[12][13][14] He finished 2nd at the 2022 Sydney Marathon, clocking 2:07:05.[12][15]

Muteti was 5th at the Marathon de Paris in 2024 with 2:07:37.[12][16]

Muteti is coached by former marathon world record holder Patrick Makau.[6]
