2021 Sur Pro: Brian Reynolds

Name: Brian Reynolds 

Sport: Running

Location: Northern New Jersey

Growing up a double amputee running was the last thing that Brian ever thought would become a major part of his future. Through high school and college he was a certified gym rat and competed in powerlifting competitions. To check off a bucket list item he ran a marathon in 2014 with little to no training and it sparked a desire to see how far he could go in running. After a few years of intense training Brian has become one of the fastest amputee distance runners in the world. He has set multiple world records in distances ranging from the 5k to the marathon. Brian is married with 3 children living and training in Northern New Jersey.
