He was born in Nandi. He won the gold medal at the 2005 World Youth Championships, a bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, seventh at the 2013 World Championship and finished ninth at the 2009 World Athletics Final.[1]
As well as these, he won the 2000 m steeplechase at the 2007 African Junior championship.[1] He suffered an Achilles tendon injury which kept him out of competition for all of 2010.[1]
His personal best times are 8:05.16 minutes in the 3000 metres, achieved in June 2006 in Lisbon; and 8:01.67 minutes in the 3000 metres steeplechase, achieved in May 2012 in Rome.[1]
In January 2013 a video of fellow long-distance runner Iván Fernández shoving a lost Mutai towards the finish line during the Burlada Cross Country race, rather than passing Mutai and winning the race, went viral. Fernández was globally praised for his sportsmanship.[2][3][4][5]
