Marathon runners love to read signs along the race course to help break the monotony. If you're planning on watching a marathon, make some signs -– the runners will love you for it. Funny spectator signs are always a good distraction. Here are some ideas:

  • "In our minds, you're all Kenyans."
  • "Your feet hurt because you are kicking so much butt!"
  • "Your legs will forgive you...eventually."
  • "Don't stop -- people are watching."
  • "Worst Parade Ever"
  • "Chafe now...brag forever."
  • "That's not sweat, it's your fat cells crying."
  • "You've got stamina! Call me!"
  • "Pain now...beer later."
  • "If a marathon was easy, it would be called your mother."
  • "I'm sure it seemed like a good idea 4 months ago."
  • "Run like you stole something."
  • "Toenails are for sissies."
  • "Where are you all going?"
  • "Hurry up...beer misses you!"
  • "You're not slow. You're just enjoying the course."
  • "Stop reading this and keep running!"
  • "Beat Oprah!"
