According to the Health Department, rabies kills more than 50,000 people worldwide every year, but it is a preventable illness. So far this year, 32 cases of rabies have been reported in Oklahoma, primarily in skunks and cattle.

Oklahoma State University's student chapter of the American Veterinary Medicine Association's Run for Rabies will begin at 8 a.m. Oct. 11 and track around Boomer Lake in Stillwater.
