On Sunday, Nov. 2, a Fun Run was held at Otsiningo Park, located in Binghamton. Hosted by Visions Federal Credit Union, the event offered a run with Emily Mackay, a 2024 Paris Summer Olympian athlete who competed in the women’s 1500m athletic event.
Emily is also a graduate of Union-Endicott High School, an alumna of Binghamton University, and she is a professional New Balance athlete.
