High River's George Lane Park is the site of Thursday afternoon's Raptor Road Race.

Spitzee School’s run club is hosting the event with up to 500 students from Grades 1-to-6 taking part from across the Foothills School Division.

There's a 1 km and a 2 km race. 

The park will be closed for the afternoon and the first race starts at 4 p.m. and will wrap up at about 5:30 p.m.

There'll also be lots of parents and cars will be parked in and around the park and Spitzee School, so if you're in the area, you're asked to use extra caution.
