Bryan "Smitty" Smith

Class of 2018

Since the early 1990's Bryan Smith has been one of the premier runners in the NOTC. He has run 50 marathons with an average time of 2:49:52. Bryan has won overall in 13 marathons, and has placed first, second or third in 39 of the 50. Bryan holds the record for the most Pelicanman duathlon wins (11) and Barathon wins (6). From the mid 1990's to the mid 2010's it is rare to find a race where Bryan didn't win overall or age group. Bryan's personal running accomplishments are impressive, but equally impressive is how he has always enthusiastically provided coaching and running advice to anyone who has an interest in running. Bryan's coaching, speed work, and discipline advanced the performance of such notable runners as Brandon Wingate and Brendan Minihan; labeled by some as "The Killer B's". He was also one of the organizers of the Catch 22 Racing Team. Bryan has been a member of the Guido Sportif since the early 80's and is currently helping in structuring the speed program for the club. A family anecdote that supports Bryan's amazing career involves Bryan being asked by a friend of his future father-in-law what his pedigree was. Bryan responded, "Well, I win marathons." Not only marathons but every distance from 5K to the marathon.
