You might not have a Yia-yia or know how to make baklava from scratch, but that doesn't mean you can't be part of the Big Fat 5k! Help us kick off the Taste of Greece, Minneapolis's largest celebration of Greek culture by raising money for researchers at University of Minnesota Children's Hospital to cure rare diseases. The run begins Friday evening at beautiful Lake Calhoun and ends under the food and music tents at the Taste of Greece. All registrants will receive complimentary food/drink tickets to start the evening off right. Opa!
