At Finden Marketing, we believe in fostering creativity, community, and connection. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be hosting a Sign Making Station at the NorthShore Inline Marathon Expo on Friday, September 13th, from noon to 9:00 PM, at Booths 34-38. Whether you’re cheering on a loved one racing or simply enjoying the festivities, this interactive station offers the perfect way to get involved in the excitement of race weekend!
Adding Fun and Creativity to Race Day
As one of Duluth’s most beloved events, the NorthShore Inline Marathon attracts participants from across the country and the world. Skaters race along the shores of Lake Superior, creating a breathtaking backdrop for both participants and spectators. As a proud supporter of this event, we wanted to offer something special—a way for attendees to engage with the marathon in a fun, creative, and hands-on way.
At our Sign Making Station, you’ll have everything you need to create your own personalized signs to cheer on the racers. From vibrant markers and paints to stickers and stencils, you can craft a unique message that encourages skaters, celebrates their hard work, and adds energy to the event.
Why Personalized Signs Matter
We know that for the skaters participating in the NorthShore Inline Marathon, crowd support can make all the difference. There’s nothing quite like seeing a sign with your name on it as you push through those final miles. Personalized signs can help racers stay motivated, feel supported, and—most importantly—have fun! Whether it’s a bold message of encouragement, a punny joke, or a heartfelt note, every sign adds to the excitement of the race.
Skaters aren’t just competing—they’re celebrating months of hard work, perseverance, and training. With your personalized sign, you can give them that extra boost to cross the finish line with pride. And it’s not just for the racers—creating a sign is a way for families, friends, and spectators to feel part of the event, showing their support in a visible and meaningful way.
A Creative Break for Spectators
We know marathons can be long, so while the racers are skating their hearts out, the Sign Making Station gives spectators a creative way to stay engaged. It’s the perfect stop for kids, families, and anyone looking to add some fun to their marathon day. Plus, it’s entirely free to participate, and we’ll provide all the materials you need!
This station offers a break from the intensity of the race while still keeping you involved. You can create signs with bold, supportive messages like “You’ve Got This!” or “Almost There!” that will be sure to catch the eye of skaters along the route. Or, get more personal and craft a sign for your friends and family who are skating. Either way, your sign will add a vibrant, colorful touch to the event.

For us at Finden Marketing, this is more than just a fun activity—it’s a way for us to give back to the Duluth community and engage with one of the city’s most exciting events.

Skaters roll through a scenic 26.2-mile course along the breathtaking shores of Lake Superior, with events like the marathon, half-marathon, and rollerski races.
This marathon isn’t just about the race—it’s about the community, the energy, and the shared love for skating. Participants and spectators come from all over the world, making this an unforgettable weekend in Duluth.
