The Run So Others Can Walk event took place at Cutler Ranch Sunday

The Rotary Club of Moorpark hosted its second annual Run So Others Can Walk race and walk Sunday morning. The event raises money to help end polio worldwide.

Eradication of the disease is one of Rotary International's main focuses and each year, local Rotarians travel to nations where the disease is still present to help vaccinate children, meet with health experts and government officials and advocate for eradication.

Sunday's event consisted of 5K and 10K races and a 1K family fun run/walk. The 5K and 10K race courses, which began and ended at Cutler Ranch in Moorpark, have been sanctioned by the USA Track and Field Association.
