Ujena Fit Club 2012 Male Runner of the Year - Peter Mullin. 

As a geologist working with several international oil companies, Peter Mullin has spent decades essentially looking for oil, but now it turns out he’s found gold as a Masters runner in the 60-64 age group category.

The 2012 Ujena Fit Club Male Runner of the Year, the 62-year-old native of Northern Ireland who’s lived in Houston since 1999, is the current U.S. champion in his age category in the 5K and the Half Marathon on the road and the 10,000 meters on the track. He ran 17:45 in the 5K to finish first in his age category at the 20th Annual Syracuse Festival of Races in Syracuse, N.Y., last September 30, and clocked 39:50 (in 90-degree heat!), again fastest in his age category, in the 10,000 meters at the U.S. Masters Track and Field Championships in Lisle, Ill. (near Chicago) in August.  And in 2013 he’s picked up where he left off last year by winning the U.S. championship (60-64 age group) in the Half Marathon, running 1:23:43 in Melbourne, Fla., on February 3, only a couple of weeks ago.

More significantly, where the Ujena Fit Club rankings are concerned and how the Runner of the Year is selected, he posted no fewer than 22 races averaging 6:13 for a total of 146 miles.  His average age-graded score for the year was 88.24%.  Peter is one of the top 60-64 runners in the country.
