From a personal idea
to the sidelines.

Race Cheer Kit helps you make something for a runner you care about. We provide digital files. You print them and make the physical sign yourself.

1. Start with what makes it personal.

A nickname. Your dog’s face. That running joke. Add a short headline and a few words that your runner would recognize. Familiar can be better than fancy.

2. Choose your way of making.

The whole sign: download a finished design as a PDF or PNG, print it and attach it to a board.

The DIY kit: download a PDF with a finished-design reference, a US Letter cut-and-make sheet and simple assembly tips. Cut out the pieces and arrange them on your own board. Add handwritten details if you like.

3. Check your printer and paper.

A US Letter design is 8.5 × 11 inches. Print the PDF at Actual size / 100%. Home printers may leave a small white margin. Check the preview so important content is not cropped. The kit includes a one-inch scale line to check the print size.

An 18 × 24 inch poster PDF is for a print shop or a printer that supports that size. We do not automatically split that full-size poster across home-printer pages. Your DIY material sheet remains US Letter regardless of the reference poster size.

PNG files are 2,550 pixels wide. For a specified physical size, use the PDF. Enlarging any photo may reveal blur, so use a clear original.

4. Lay it out before you glue.

You’ll need paper, a board and a way to stick the pieces down. For a DIY kit, add scissors. Dry-fit the pieces, leave the main words easy to read and let the glue dry before packing. Choose sturdy materials that suit the weather.

5. Bring your voice, too.

Follow the event’s spectator and sign rules. Keep the course clear and enjoy the day. We can help make the sign; we can’t promise your runner will spot it.
