Do You Have These Concerns?
We solve concerns related to our Marathon Cheering Squad service.
No one to cheer for you
Family far away, friends at work. Running a full marathon with no familiar face on the sidelines is mentally tough. You want someone cheering for you.
About to break down in the second half
Past the 30km mark, legs and spirit are at their limit. 12km to go and you might give up alone. If only someone said "You can do it!" when it gets tough.
First marathon full of anxiety
Your first full marathon with no clue about pacing. You want someone to support you with everything from aid stations to race-day flow.
No one to greet you at the finish line
No one at the finish to share the joy of completing 42.195km. If someone said "Congratulations!" the happiness would multiply.
Want photos of yourself running
You cannot take photos while running. Official photographer shots are expensive and may not have the best angle. You want photos at your preferred points.
Want to post cheering moments on SNS
You want to share cheering moments and the finish on SNS in real time, but you cannot post while running. You need someone to post for you.
Marathon Cheering Squad Case Studies
Here are real examples of requests we have fulfilled.
First full marathon cheering support
First-time full marathon runner on a solo transfer with no one to cheer. Staff positioned at 15km, 25km, 35km, and the finish with banners. At 35km the runner nearly stopped but resumed after hearing "7km left! You can do this!"
Surprise cheering for husband
A surprise cheering squad for her marathon-loving husband. Five staff with banners at the 25km point. He was shocked by the sudden cheering squad, waved with a smile, and set a personal best.
Cheering for company employees at a marathon
A company promoting employee health through marathon participation. Cheering staff for all 15 runners at key points with company-branded banners, plus hydration support.
Multi-point cheering and SNS posting for triathlon
First triathlon. Staff positioned at swim-bike-run transition points and finish. Race photos and real-time SNS posting also requested.

Client Testimonials
“I asked for pacing support for a full marathon. Having someone help plan the pace and encourage me during tough sections made a huge difference. I set a personal best. I definitely would have walked if alone.”
“First half marathon. I signed up out of anxiety about finishing. Having someone run beside me made all the difference. They even taught me about hydration timing. I made it to the finish.”
“I started jogging for weight loss but kept skipping when alone, so I asked for a running partner. Once a week, it is making running gradually enjoyable. Would appreciate slightly lower prices.”
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cheering points can you cover?
It depends on course length and staff placement, but 3-5 points is typical for a full marathon. Provide the course map and we will suggest optimal cheering points.
Can I decide the banner design myself?
Yes, share your preferred message and design and we will create a matching banner. Names, team names, and more can be freely customized.
What happens if it rains?
As long as the event is held, we cheer rain or shine. If the event itself is canceled, we offer rescheduling or cancellation consultation.
Can you cheer at sports events other than marathons?
Yes, we support triathlon, relay, cycling, ultra marathon, and more. Contact us for details.
Can you arrange a large cheering squad?
Yes, from 1 person to squads of dozens. Leave large-scale corporate cheering to us. More people means greater roadside impact.
