Name the best signs you've seen spectators holding during a race

[Disfan11]

Im going to make a few signs for my group to have out on the course while they are walking the Tinkerbell.
So what should they say?
2 I've seen:
Sweat is sexy!
Hurry up so we can go back to sleep!

 

[NitroStitch]

I saw a bunch of great signs but can't think of what most of them said right now... I do remember laughing at one that featured a dinosaur or Godzilla-like creature and said "run like you're going to be lunch"!

I liked these (think this was from last years Houston Marathon)

http://www.runnersworld.com/community/forums/runner-communities/marathoners/signs-houston-marathon

Heres an Interesting story in the Houston Chronicle about how someone's coworkers posted signs every mile for him.


Here are the motivational words for each mile:

• 1. • Lookin' good! (So far. …)

• 2. • Adrenaline got you this far. All guts from here!

• 3. • Seriously, who fartleked?

• 4. • It's all uphill from here.

• 5. • Runner X-ing

• 6. • You're not slow, you're enjoying the course.

• 7. • Relax. You're not going to win.

• 8. • I love the smell of 22,000 runners in the morning.

• 9. • 26.2, because 26.3 would be CRAZY!

• 10. • When Chuck Norris hits walls, they fall down.

• 11. • Johnny Knoxville wouldn't even do this to himself.

• 12. • Only 5.3 miles to finish! (if you take the most direct route)

• 13. • You're already a winner. You won the lottery to get here.

• 14. • Nobody to blame but yourself.

• 15. • Toenails were made to fall off.

• 16. • If you were a Kenyan, you'd be done by now.

• 17. • Shirt, how do thou chafe me? Let me count the ways. ...

• 18. • You paid $115 for this?

• 19. • Sweating = fat cells crying.

• 20. • Your training runs ended here.

• 21. • At this point, it will hurt just as much to walk.

• 22. • Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall you just hit.

• 23. • Graveyard ahead. Look alive.

• 24. • Give me a high five!

• 25. • If pain is temporary, why does this feel like an eternity?

• 26. • Congratulations!!!! Almost. …

- "Chuck Norris never ran a marathon."

- "I hear there's beer at the finish line!"

- "You're all Kenyans on the inside" (my personal favorite)

- "Run for your cake, Christina!" (I'm not Christina but I still thought this one was funny)

Love seeing signs At any race. My personal favorite from this past January has to be "This is the worst parade ever!"

At the Disneyland Half, around mile 10: You're NOT done!! (with almost crossed out)


At the 2008 WDW Half: If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

 

[crewmatt]

One of my favorites is worst parade ever.

Another funny one some girls had put together for their friends was

Runner 12345 is sexy and single, call her at (123) 456-7890

One of my favorites from this past weekend was one with a lady on it like she was whispering. It said something to the effect of Run faster....I just farted.

 

[manhattan]

Love this! Needed a good laugh this morning

 

[Saylan]

The two I remember were:

'Just keep running' with Dory on the sign

'Stop reading this and get back to running'

 

[jenifred]

I have to second the "Worst Parade Ever" sign on Main Street USA. Made me bust out laughing!

 

[RadioFanatic]

my favorite by far which still has me laughing was seen at a local 15k, it was about a mile from the finish line and said:

"if you haven't pooped by now, you have already won!"

 

[lorasmom]

I spectated at a local race a few weeks ago, and the 2 signs that runners liked BEST in our group, were:

"BEST parade ever"
"Run like you stole something"

 

[fashionista311]

oh there are so many...but here are a few off the top of my head

-run faster, i'm missing football for this
-you run better than the mta (in the shape of a metrocard) (for non-new yorkers, the mta is in charge of the subway systems and there is always something wrong)
-you trained longer for this than kim kardashian was married

 

[NitroStitch]

Love seeing signs At any race. My personal favorite from this past January has to be "This is the worst parade ever!"

I have a running shirt from One More Mile that has that phrase on it. Cracks me up every time.

One of my favorites from this past weekend was one with a lady on it like she was whispering. It said something to the effect of Run faster....I just farted.

I was in line with them for the monorail! I was trying to make it back to Epcot after finishing the first leg of the relay and they were trying to make it to the finish line to see her. A bunch of people were laughing and taking pictures of their sign.

 

[Disfan11]

Love all of these!
Keep 'em coming!

For the Marathon:

Hurry up - check out is at 11:00am!

 

[CaptHomer]

Someone near the Magic Kingdom parking lot (I believe) had one that said;
"Hooch" (had a picture of a martini glass) "The reason that we run"

A gentleman was holding an iPad at mile 4 Sunday with a white background and black block letters, "Generic Encouragement Sign"
