Lucky for runners many of the spectators at the New York Marathon hold signs of encouragement. Signs tend to be:
- Funny encouragement
- Personal Encouragement; or
- Motivational encouragement.
Many are a combination and some even meet all three categories in the one sign.
Our posts on signs that made us laugh and profanity signs address the funny signs for the 2011 New York Marathon. This post captures the two most popular and common themes on display. These were:
- Yes you can or UCAN; and,
- Run like you stole something
Here are a few examples:
UCAN Never Say Never
Only 23 miles to go! You can do it
You can do it!
Yes You Can
Half Way! You Can Do It!
We saw this sign in 2010 and asked the owner about it. This sign is a regular New York Marathon supporter having been on display for many years.
You Can Do It!
You Can Do It
Run Like You Stole Something
Run Like You Stole Something – We love You
This is NYC so Run like you stole something!
Run like U stole something
Run like some one stole your donut.
Now this final one is a slight variation on the theme and could have been included in the funny signs category.
