Evans Rutto (born April 8, 1978 in Marakwet District) is a Kenyan long-distance runner, who specialises in road running events. He made the fastest ever debut marathon by winning the 2003 Chicago Marathon in a time of 2:05:50. He won the London Marathon and a second title in Chicago the following year.
After 2004, Rutto's form dipped considerably and in 2006 he took time away from marathoning due to injury. He has not yet returned to competition, although his personal best still keeps him within the top-20 fastest runners of all-time.
