The second fastest marathoner in the world in 2010, Geoffrey Mutai finished second to Patrick Makau in Rotterdam to solidify his place as one of the fastest marathoners of all time. In July he competed in Nairobi at the African Championships in the 10,000m and earned the individual bronze medal by running 27:33:83 at altitude. Later in the year, at his first World Marathon Majors race in Berlin, Mutai again finished second to Makau, this time by seven seconds.
