Titus Munji

Titus Munji (born December 20, 1979 ) is a Kenyan marathon runner .

As Paul Tergat in Berlin Marathon took in 2003, he chose as pacemakers his two training partners Munji, whose biggest success so far is a second place at the Berlin Half Marathon was 1:00:27 in 2001, and Sammy Korir . The three Kenyans dominated the race, and while Tergat and Korir were the first runners to ever stay below 2:05, Munji established himself in third with 2:06:15 as the fifth fastest runner of all time.

Since then, he has not been able to build on this performance on the marathon distance, even if he managed to finish second in the Las Vegas Marathon in 2005 .

In the 25 km from Berlin 2004 he ran 1:13:32. He would have set a world record if three compatriots ( Paul Malakwen Kosgei , Luke Kibet and Benson Kipchumba Cherono ) hadn't been even faster that day.
