Best 2024 Buffalo Marathon Running Signs

The Buffalo Marathon takes place every year on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and more than 6,000 athletes participate in the race each year. However, hundreds of people participate in the race each year without ever wearing a bib.

Spectators play an important role in any race and at the Buffalo Marathon, crowds have a significant impact on runners’ performance. Seeing enthusiastic spectators on the side of the road and hearing the cheers of strangers gathering for the race’s runners is a morale boost that’s hard to describe.

Just when you feel like you’re slowing down or about to give up, those people cheering you on at the Buffalo Marathon reignite your drive to reach the finish line.

One of the main ways spectators can support Buffalo runners is by creating unique race signs for the event. There were so many signs that stood out from the 2024 Buffalo Marathon, but these were the ones that stood out the most – you just had to take a photo!

One of the supporters who stood out this year is someone you may recognize from years ago. I wish I knew his name, but you would recognize him by his Mario costume. He’s also holding up a huge power-up panel that looks exactly like the star.power ons” of Mario games.

If you were a volunteer or supporter of the Buffalo Marathon, we thank you so much for your help during the race! And congratulations to all the runners who ran this weekend! 🙂
