It’s that time again, let’s start thinking about the spring and early summer marathon calendar! I know that most of us have been in a major rut with this nasty weather but that’s about to end. What better way to motivate yourself and refocus but to sign up for a race? How about one of my favorites, the Sunburst Races Marathon & Half? I just signed up for the marathon and hope to see a lot of friendly faces out on course with me.
The Sunburst Marathon & Half is on June 6, 2015. That is 99 days away. Plenty of time to train and be ready to RUN South Bend! The event offers a variety of races over the weekend and pulls a great crowd to downtown South Bend. It’s a fun atmosphere and there are events for the entire family. The race starts in the downtown area, weaves thru town, along the river walk, and thru some nice neighborhoods where the residents come out in force with food, water, sprinklers, music and create a supportive environment for all runners. This is definitely a race where the community is behind the event! And the river walk is breathtaking!
The races finishes on the beautiful Notre Dame campus where there is a big after party with lots of food and fun so that you can await the finish of friends and family. Check out the Sunburst Races Marathon & Half website and figure out which event you want to run for 2015!

I would love to run this race. I’ve been a long time follower of their Facebook page.
this looks amazing for my first marathon! Did I mention it is also my 38th birthday!?!
Please pick me!
And I followed them on facebook.
This sounds like an awesome race! 🙂
sounds awesome!
Well this Sunburst Marathon is not far away and I know a lot of people that have run it (including you). Always been of interest to run it…probably would have to do it really easy since it will be too soon after Boston to try to run long distance at high intensity. But I might be able to float an extended taper off of Boston and run it….if I am a lucky winner in the giveaway. I went to the FB race page and liked it also!
I would love to do the half, and I’ve followed them on facebook!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! I’ve been eyeing this race for years. The river walk in SB is gorgeous! It would be awesome to cross Indiana off of my list of states raced in, too.
I like Sunburst on Facebook!
Sounds like a great race! Good luck with your training, and maybe I’ll be the lucky winner to join you =)
from your description, it sounds great! I “liked” their FB page.
I’ve never run this race, but I’m looking for a good early summer 1/2 to try my legs. Thanks for sharing the love!
Looks like a nice race. Count me in.. 🙂
I would love to win this! This would make my 4th race of the year. My 4 for 40! And if I’m lucky I can run it with a good running friend of mine. 😏
I’m a new follower of Sunburst Races on FB. 😃

I Boston Qualified at this race last year!!! I love this race. I also like their Facebook page! If it helps, I would be competing in a new age group this year – the big 40.
Sunburst is my one and only race streak and the half is the only distance I haven’t run! It’s been in the back of my mind this year… maybe this is the push I need 🙂
And I already like the Sunburst Facebook page!

I am also running this race! I’m going to do the half. The course passes right by my home!
I was actually looking at this race a few months ago and would love to participate. Finishing on the Notre Dame grounds would be epic! With the past few winters I think June is the new April, great racing weather especially being at the beginning of the month. Another thing that attracts me to this event is the multiple race distances, one for every family member. Thanks for having the giveaway and I hope to see you in South Bend in June whether I win a free entry or not.

I am excited to be running my first Sunburst Half Marathon. I have completed the 5k and 10k in previous races, this one will be special because my father will be on campus at Notre Dame celebrating his 60th year class reunion!! He and my mom will get to see me cross the finish line on the Irish Green!!!
