The 52nd edition of the New York City Marathon was in full swing on Sunday (November 5).
As the last of six World Marathon Majors events scheduled for 2023, thousands of people gathered to watch the 50,000 runners.
And despite the athletes taking to the streets of NYC to complete the 26.2-mile course rightfully being at the center of the attention, the emblematic sports competition had another type of show-stopping group of people: poster holders.
Bored Panda rounded up a couple of the best signs that were spotted at the event.
