25 Funny Signs Spotted At The NYC Marathon

Published 11 months ago

Last weekend on Sunday the 5th Of Nov, the 52nd edition of the New York City Marathon took place in front of thousands of spectators as 50,000 runners attempted to complete the 26.2-mile course on the streets of New York. 

As the last of the six World Marathon Majors events scheduled for 2023 the support for the athletes was aplenty. But while the competitors commanded the majority of the attention of viewers as they should, there was a small group of people that almost stole the show with their creativity. The ‘poster holders’ slayed at this event with some show-stopping signage and we’ve shared a few of the best signs spotted at the event in the gallery below.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
