Tired of being normal?? Give Not so Normal a try. This was my first year participating in this race but I loved it. The Not So Normal Weekend consists of a 5k on Saturday, followed by a 10k and half marathon on Sunday. They have a challenge medal as well, if you decide to do the 5k plus one of the sunday races. I decided on the 10k since I had a big race the following weekend. This is not a huge race, but what it lacks in participation, it more than makes up with speed. The race was fast, and before I knew it I was crossing the finish with a new PR. I crushed my previous PR by a full 2 minutes. I had a few friends that ran the half marathon and both of them PR'd, breaking the 2 hour barrier. The majority of the race is on the road with a few minutes taking you into some quiet neighborhoods. Anyone looking for a good race to PR, without the thousands of runners, I fully recommend giving the Not So Normal a try.
