Funny Marathon Spectator Signs

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."
• "Take a cab. It's faster!"
• "You've got stamina! Call me!
• "Pain now...beer later."
• "If it was easy, I would do it."
• "Run like you stole something."
• "Toenails are for sissies."
• "Where are you all going?"
• "Hurry up...beer misses you!"
• "This is easier than labor and delivery."
• "You're not slow. You're just enjoying the course."
• "Stop reading this and keep running!"
• "Beat Oprah!"
• "Puke and rally!"
• "Don't worry, toenails are overrated."
• "Run like someone's chasing you."
• "Run faster...I just farted."
• "It'll feel better when it stops hurting."
• "You trained longer than Kim Kardashian's marriage!"
• "Mortuary ahead....look alive!"
• "If I ran it, by God, you can, too."


• "Chuck Norris never ran a marathon."
  "Staying up all night making this sign was hard too."
  "You are NOT almost there." (seen at mile 1)
