Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta Track Club is a large nonprofit, member-based running and walking organization based in northeast Atlanta. It organizes major races, structured training programs like In-Training for Fall Marathons, and community group runs across the metro area.
Group run schedule
Atlanta Track Club is a nonprofit, member-based organization that does a lot more than casual group runs - it runs structured training programs, organizes major races, and coordinates group workouts across the Atlanta metro area. If you are working toward a marathon or looking for a structured program with scheduled workouts, this is built for that purpose. It is also open to walkers, not just runners.
Highlights
This suits someone who wants accountability and structure around a specific race goal, particularly a fall marathon, and who does not mind paying for a program and committing to a season of training. It is less suited to someone who just wants a low-key, drop-in group run with no fees or sign-up process - the membership requirement and program fees make this a real commitment.

Workouts happen on Saturdays at their headquarters on Armour Drive in northeast Atlanta, and on Wednesdays at multiple locations around the metro - spots like Azalea Park in Roswell, Cheney Stadium, and Agnes Scott College track, among others.
Saturday sessions at headquarters typically start at 7:15 a.m.; Wednesday times vary by site, with options ranging from early morning to evening depending on where you go. The terrain is a mix of urban streets and park paths. Distance is geared toward marathon preparation within their training programs, so expect mileage that builds over a season - they do not describe casual 3-mile social jogs.
You will need to be a member before you can participate - a 2026 individual membership is $50, and if you want to join a structured program like In-Training for Fall Marathons, there is an additional $175 fee on top of that.
Before your first workout, confirm which site and time applies to your program, because Wednesday locations and times vary and showing up at the wrong place is a real possibility if you do not check ahead.
Their headquarters is at 201 Armour Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324, and that is your safest starting point if you are unsure. They describe themselves as beginner-friendly, so if you are newer to distance training, you are not the odd one out.
Something to train for
90 upcoming races in Atlanta. Having one on the calendar is the easiest way to turn a few group runs into a habit.
Yes, membership is required. A 2026 individual membership is $50, and if you are joining a training program like In-Training for Fall Marathons, that costs an additional $175. There are also credit card processing fees on top of the listed prices.
They describe themselves as a running and walking organization, so walkers are included - this is not a runners-only club.
Saturday workouts at headquarters typically start at 7:15 a.m. Wednesday workouts are offered at multiple locations around the metro, with times like 6:15 a.m., 7:45 a.m., 6:00 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. depending on the site. Times are program-specific and can change, so verify with them before you show up.
Marathon training is the main focus of their structured programs - that is where the distances and workouts are aimed. They also offer community group runs and volunteer opportunities through membership, but if you are not working toward a distance race, a lot of what they offer may not apply to you.
Members get access to training programs, discounts on race entries, community group runs, volunteer opportunities, and member gifts. The training programs themselves cost extra beyond the base membership.
Where this comes from: Club details come from each club’s own channels (their site, Meetup, Strava and social posts) and are checked by hand. Group runs move, so confirm the meeting spot on the club’s latest post before you head out. Last updated July 2026.
