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."
  • "That's not sweat, it's your fat cells crying."
  • "If it was easy, I would do it."
  • "Run like you stole something."
  • "This is easier than labor and delivery."
  • "You're not slow. You're just enjoying the course."
  • "Don't worry, toenails are overrated."
  • "Run like someone's chasing you."
  • "It'll feel better when it stops hurting."
  • "Mortuary ahead....look alive!"
  • "If I ran it, by God, you can, too."
