Mbarak Kipkorir Hussein (born 4 April 1965) is a Kenyan athlete who specialises in long distance running, including the marathon.
A native of Kapsabet, near Eldoret, Kenya,[1] he was a late comer to competitive running but he was inspired by the feats of his older brother, Ibrahim Hussein, who is a three-time Boston Marathon winner.
He returned the following year but managed only third position, although a second-place finish at the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon saw him improve his best time by over four minutes.
In 2001, he won the Stride for Pride 5K, the Duke City 5K, the Long Beach Half-Marathon, and he closed the year with a second win at the Honolulu Marathon.
In the world championship marathon final, he finished in 21st place with 2:23:04; his time was hampered by difficult weather conditions in Osaka but he was the United States' strongest performer in the race and headed the American team to fourth place in the Marathon World Cup.
