CHEER SIGNS!
One of our participants’ favorite things is seeing the signs that spectators hold up for them as they pass by. From motivational to humorous, holding signs is a great way to cheer on your specific runner or our participants in general.
Take a picture of your funny or motivational sign and post it on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #FoxCitiesMarathon.
