Clap, shout, and show your support for participants--it's always welcome. Save the "You're almost there!" cheer until the very end--a few miles is still a long way for someone who has been running for hours. Here are some favorites.

? Keep smiling! ? Looking awesome! ? Running smooth! ? You can do it! ? Way to run!

? One stride at a time! ? Way to focus! ? Stay relaxed! ? Keep it up! ? Welcome to Brookings

? Way to go!

? You rock!

? Call out something unique about a runner (bib #, the color or a logo on their shirt, etc.)

In 2018, 40% of marathon entries are women. However, women account for nearly 65% of entries in the half marathon and relay.

? In 2000 an ice storm forced the

marathon indoors, with all 26 miles run on the SDSU indoor track.

1979 by Randy Fischer at 2:22:29.

? The women's marathon record was set

in 1980 by Jane Wipf at 2:48:26.

? Almost 400 volunteers bring their

enthusiasm every year to make the Brookings Marathon happen.

40% of entries are from
