This weekend, a special event will close down a road and parking spots in downtown State College.

The Autism Speaks Foundation is hosting a 5K run and 3K walk near the State College Municipal Building.

It kicks off at noon and wraps up at 4 p.m.

During that time, South Allen Street will be closed from the entrance of the Schlow Library to Foster Avenue.

Drivers are asked to be careful while traveling near the race.
