Atlanta running contends with two things: hills and humidity. The flat, measured surface of a track is a welcome relief from the rolling terrain, and summers push the hard efforts to early morning or lit evenings. The metro is spread wide and traffic is real, so the best move is picking a track on your own side of the perimeter.

So well, organized an asset to the running community nothing but kudos to everyone involved in the Atlanta track club. Happy to be part of the volunteer community.
This comment is for Cheney Track, but the current hours are M-F: 6:30am-8am and 7pm-9pm, and Sat-Sun 6am-9pm. The track is really nice, just know that they lock the gates when it’s closed
