If you ask anyone who has ever participated in a marathon, they’re sure to tell you that it was a blast. That said, most won’t deny that it’s also quite the challenge. There’s lots to do in order to prep for the big day. Then there’s actually getting through the 26.2-mile course. For those who enter the NYC Marathon, winners could take home as much as $100,000 in prize money. But whether you win or not, it truly is all about the journey. Speaking of the journey, the runners aren’t the only folks worth talking about. On the sidelines, you’ll often find some of the most creative, supportive folks. In fact, it’s becoming more common for total strangers to show up with encouraging signs for those in the marathon. Odds are, though, you’ve never seen signs quite like the ones Blake and his friends made recently. See for yourself in the video below! @bharrishudson Best day of the year #nycmarathon @Kin @Branden Basche ♬ Evergreen – Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners Turns out, this fun group didn’t need to personally know anyone in the NYC Marathon to show support.

You can tell by the way their eyes light up as they pass by the group of friends. What a cool way to spread love and positivity! “I’m gutted that this will never happen to me because I have an unusual name. And will never run a marathon,” someone in the comment section of the video admits, with one of the Johns adding, “This was one of my favorite moments of the marathon!!! Thank you!!!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here! The post Random Stranger Delights Runners In NYC Marathon In Hilariously Specific Way appeared first on InspireMore.
