From Princess Half 2022:

My favorite at any race is always “You thought it said “rum,” didn’t you?”

This!

In 2022, there was a woman just outside of DHS with the 'BELIEVE' sign from Ted Lasso. I tapped it as I limped past (really bad tendonitis injury; I hobbled the last 8 miles of that marathon) and then immediately broke down crying.

It was a good sign.

I also enjoy kids with signs that say something like “tap here for power boost”—I always (assuming it’s safe to do so) go over and tap, and then zoom away as fast I’m capable of in that moment because I imagine it makes them feel cool to have given a runner a boost. In one local race, I crossed 2 and a half lanes of (empty) roadway to get a power boost from a kid, and then had to cross back to the other side for the next kid (now you see why my watch is always way over on mileage )

Ran the BMO 1/2 today in Vancouver. Best sign i saw:
Your stuck between a WALK and a HARD PACE

The props they had today at the 10k Haunted Mansion were very nice…

I’m not sure if this is funny or mean. This was just before we left the Angel’s Stadium parking lot with less than two miles go.

Considering I'm motivated by spite, I would appreciate that sign.

 

[CaliforniaGirl09]

I loved "This seemed like a good idea 8 months ago when you signed up" or something like that. Too funny.

Can't find the pic, but at the DL half in January there was a sign around mile 8 that said "if this was Disney World you would be done by now". The week after the WDW half was shortened. Gave me a good laugh

 

[SheHulk]

Not everybody's sense of humor, but I've been at a few WDW races where a woman had a sign near the end of the marathon (between HS and Epcot) that said "YOU LOOK SKINNY" and I have to say, true or not, I really needed that at that point!

 

[Popo]

One year I saw a sign at the 10 mile point that said, “You paid $215 to run this race. You have $32.82 to go.”

 

[Mr_Incr3dible]

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s warranty”

 

[Naomeri]

Not a sign, but if you happen to live along a race route, and have access to a loud speaker and a child, please have them go tell jokes to the runners, it's a real pick-me-up.

"What do you call a bunch of baby trashcans?"

"A Lidder"

 

[Naomeri]

One from my race yesterday: You kick a$$...phalt

 

[DisneyParrothead]

One from my race yesterday: You kick a$$...phalt

My mom will always text me the night before each race "Kick a$$phalt butt."

Looking through the fb album from Twin Cities Marathon Weekend, here's a funny sign:

You put the SEXC in XC

 

[DianaMB333]

Some signs from the MW..

1. “Today is the day you are finishing a Marathon!”… a sign spotted in Mile 25.. loved it!

2. Hurry, it is cold!

3. Garmin says you are unproductive, keep going

4. 26.3, that would be too much

5. Getting up very early, running very far away… it sounds fun!

6. I trained for holding this sign (cute baby and his dad)

7. Random stranger I have never been more proud of you

 

[The Expert]

I always like this group outside AK during the marathon.



These were fun for the dog lovers.
