Amos Tirop Matui is one of the most popular and richest Runner who was born on May 27, 1976 in Kenya.
He scored his first victory in the marathon in 2003 by taking the title at the Baden Marathon in a time of 2:17:59. He improved his personal best time to 2:12:14 with a fourth-place finish at the 2004 Brussels Marathon and then finished second at the Hannover Marathon later that year. He also ran at the Hamburg Half Marathon, which he won in a time of 1:05:26. In 2005 he won both the Casablanca Marathon and the Singapore Marathon. In Singapore he won the race by overtaking Ashebir Demissu in the last 200 m and earned a $25,000 bonus with a course record performance of 2:15:57 in hot, humid conditions.
He entered the 2006 National Capital Marathon in Ottawa and seemingly took victory by crossing the line first in a time of 2:10:32. However, a mistake had occurred on the course as a motorist had moved a barrier while race volunteers were absent from their post. This resulted in Matui and thirteen others cutting some 400 metres off the course distance. His result was annulled but race organisers issued him financial compensation for the mistake in lieu of prize money. His season had a high note at the Singapore Marathon as he successfully defended his title. Taking on Ashebir Demissu for a second time, Matui took the lead at 41 km to improve his course record to 2:15:01 and he also became the first athlete to take successive victories at the race.
