Saw this in Midwest Living and thought it would be appropriate to post before the marathon:
o DO Get personal. Call out runners' names or just yell their number. You'll likely get a grateful smile in return.
o DON'T Get in the way. Feel free to reach out for high-fives, but stay on the curb and only cross the course if necessary.
o DO Get loud. Runners want a lot of support. Yell, ring bells, applaud or even blast music.
o DON'T Forget the walkers. Cheer the folks walking the course, too. They take longer but travel just as far.
o DO Tell the truth. Marathoners agree: Don't say "Almost there!" when they're actually still two or three miles away. Stick with "Way to go!"

When I was in Green Bay cheering on Team Schmitt I used the phrase "Alright Runners! Way to go!". I said it to one woman in particular and she looked back at my and replied "I'm walking not running, can't you see that?!?!" It was very funny and we both laughed pretty hard.
Familie Schmitt will be at mile 10.2 in the Beetle's parking lot. We'll see you all there!
Good Luck!
