Singer Don McLean was nowhere to be found Sunday, but there were a lot of other people at the sixth annual Dreidel Dash 5K and 10K runs at the Jewish Community Center of St. Paul.

Following the races there was a Post Dash Bash Community Hanukkah Celebration, which organizers say is the biggest in the Twin Cities.
