what do supporters of marathon runners do at races

Our 21 year old daughter has competed at a high level in three sports throughout high school and college. Now that she has completed her college athletic career she has been training to be a marathon runner and truly loves it. She is competing in her first half marathon this weekend. We have always supported her in athletics as well as everything else in her life, and now wish to continue to do so by attending her first marathon. We don't know if there is a protocol for fans/supporters at marathons ... or maybe stuff you're not supposed to do! This may seem like such a lame question but we want to learn about this sport and be as supportive as we can. Do we bring signs, do we cheer, do we bring water ( we know they have water stations), do we stay the heck off the streets? do we wait at the finish line, do we send her off at the starting point? Okay. You can see I am obsessing at this point. Sorry. Any help will be greatly appreciated. WE admire you ALL! Sincerely, The Mom
