Best signs from the 2022 Boston Marathon

How can you not be motivated by dogs and the Wellesley College scream tunnel?

There are many memorable things about the Boston Marathon, but the support runners get from the crowds is like no other marathon. What makes Boston unique is its point-to-point course starting from Hopkinton, Mass., to Boylston St. in downtown Boston. Spectators will often take to the countryside, suburban townships and college campuses along the course with motivational signs to support the runners.

Between the students at Wellesley College and Spencer, the “official” Boston Marathon dog, there were plenty of great signs from this year’s race.
