Why do runners hit street signs?
Sometimes when you are driving along you see people running and they just randomly hit the stop signs or whatever (with their hands) and make this loud noise. I am actually a street-sign-hitting-runner! (as are most of the people i run with.) We just don't know why we do it...

Boredom, and the need for something spontaneous and exciting. As you are running, you are in a constant, repetitive pattern of motions, and you see the sign as a distraction, something to stir up attention not only for yourself, but for others.

I always did it cuz i was bored. But mostly because it was there and i could.I can't speak for everyone - we all have our own reasons - but I tend to measure the start and finish of my running routes by landmarks like signs, telephone poles, etc. Touching the landmark lets me know I've covered the distance and I am done - kind of like a swimmer hitting the wall of the pool at the end of a race. I don't hit the signs or make a loud noise though. Just make enough contact to let me know I've hit my marker.

i find myself and other teammates hitting signs because its just something other to do plus it lets yourself know that youre accomplishing something. also you just have to brag to the people behind you that you made it there first with a big CLANG! :]
