Volunteers Needed for Binghamton’s Color Run

A big fund raiser for the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier is coming up in about a couple weeks and MHAST says it still needs volunteers to help out at the Color Run.

Over 3,000 are already signed up to participate the weekend of April 1^st with the run happening on the SUNY Broome Community College campus April 2^nd.

Runners and walkers go through the course while powdered color is tossed on them.

Volunteers are needed for a number of tasks, including throwing the colored corn starch at the runners.
