The Boston Marathon is one of the great traditions in all of sports, and every year spectators line the course to cheer the athletes on with creative signs.

From Hopkinton to Back Bay, we found some of the best ones out there, from a Mario Bros. power-up to an offer for a kiss — once the runner freshens up.

Brad Lew, of Los Angeles, was arriving to the Boston Marathon shortly before 10 a.m. to make sure he was there to support his daughter, Sydney, and accompanied by her boyfriend.

If their signs were any indication, an alcoholic beverage or two was in Sydney's future upon finishing the race!

"Hopefully she has a good time and will enjoy it," Lew said. "She's running for lupus and hopefully she finishes and stays healthy."
