The Stars Of The NYC Marathon Might Be Running, But These Videos Prove Their Biggest Fans Also Rule The Day

Any friend worth their salt will always show up for the big moments in your life.

Sometimes those are low moments, but celebrating the highs – like running in the biggest marathon in the world – are important too!

These besties definitely didn’t miss the memo, and showed up for their friends and family who were running the race in big ways.

If she doesn’t see you, were you really there at all?

This woman thinks not.

And look, even if you don’t know anyone personally, it’s still great fun to watch and cheer.

Treat it like a bonus annual costume contest.
