So who is this cloud of witnesses that surrounds us?
In a 5K race, they're the ones that finish before us. They line the 50 or so yards that are roped off before the finish line. 99% of them don't even know you. But if you run hard at the finish, they cheer you in. They cheer you in because they've already run the race - they know how hard it was.
The cloud of witnesses Hebrews refers to are also those who finished before us. Family members, friends and saints we never knew in this lifetime, cheering us on in the race of life. They've already run it - they know how hard it was. Now they urge us to make the right the choices.
