Mark Davidhizar's thoughts:

This was the third time I have done the Sunburst half marathon, and this was probably the best I have seen it as far as the course, weather, and volunteers. Sunburst continues to offer a 5k, 10k, half marathon and full marathon. Be aware that early June can be very warm in northern Indiana.
The course for the half marathon changed drastically this year, running along the St. Joe River, into Mishawaka, through the IUSB campus, through the neighborhoods of South Bend and finishing on Notre Dames Campus. There are rolling hills throughout the course with a steep incline at mile 12 called Hallelujah Hill. Typically the course ends at Norte Dame Stadiums 50 yard line, but do to construction to the stadium, that was not the case this year.
The race shirts I was not a fan of but the medals were nice this year.
For the money, this an expensive race and you don't get too much in return. For more photos from the race, visit my blog at www.marktoboston2015.wordpress.com
