Patrick Mukutu Ivuti (born June 30, 1978) is a Kenyan long distance athlete, who currently resides in Nairobi, Kenya.
Ivuti has competed several times at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, finishing second in 1999 behind Paul Tergat and runner-up again in 2003 when the race was won by Kenenisa Bekele.
[7] The race was the closest Chicago Marathon ever and a photo finish culmination of a shoulder to shoulder final 300 meter stretch run with Jaouad Gharib down Columbus Drive on a day of record-setting 88 °F (31 °C) temperatures.
He had a disappointing run in Prague in 2010, coming nineteenth,[11] but he rebounded at the 2011 Vienna City Marathon by recording his third career sub-2:10 time to take second place behind John Kiprotich.
[13] Ivuti is married and his wife Marietta is sister of Jimmy Muindi, also a Kenyan marathon runner.
