KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Western Michigan University is looking to fill 200 volunteer spots for the Color Run 5K race in Kalamazoo slated for Saturday, April 23

As a nonprofit sponsor for the event, WMU's Student Recreation Center receives additional dollars for facility improvements annually by securing volunteer participation. Previous years' funding has been used for such projects as last fall's weight room enhancement.
