Sassy signs for enduring motivation

Though the title of the post is "The 7 Least Motivational Marathon Signs," I think these spectators are on to something. When I'm in the thick of a long race, nothing raises my spirits like a good laugh at an outlandish sign. My mother concurred after passing the cheeky signs my brother and I made for her first race.

So, spectators, take note-feel free to embrace your inner sass.
