How to Make a Half Marathon Sign
You don’t need to be super creative or artistic to make a fantastic half marathon sign. Get some poster board or foam board and use thick markers to write out your quote. Make the letters as legible and big as you can, given the size of the poster. Remember that the runners will be quickly glancing at your sign, so you want to make sure that they can read it easily.
