Factor_ HYROX Atlanta runs over three days at the Georgia World Congress Center, right beside Centennial Olympic Park downtown. Late April is mild, green and usually dry enough for a shakeout on the BeltLine. The one thing to know is that MARTA renamed the venue's station in December 2025, so look for "SEC District," not "GWCC/CNN Center."
Checked 15 October 2026. Details change, so confirm bookings directly.

Local insights for Atlanta
The things a friend who lives here would tell you before race weekend.
Look for SEC District station
On 1 December 2025, MARTA renamed GWCC/CNN Center station "Sports, Entertainment and Convention District." Older maps and apps may still use the old name.
Tap to ride MARTA
You can tap a contactless credit or debit card, or Apple, Google or Samsung Wallet, at rail gates and on buses. Use the same card for the whole trip to get free transfers. A physical or virtual Breeze card costs a one-time $2 fee.
The train starts in the terminal
MARTA's Airport station is inside the Domestic Terminal between baggage claims, so you can be on a train minutes after landing.
Expect mild days and cool mornings
Average April highs are about 23°C (74°F), with lows around 11°C (53°F) and roughly 97 mm of rain over the month. Bring a layer for an early heat and a light rain jacket.
Ask for pot likker at Mary Mac's
First-timers can ask for a free cup of pot likker, the broth left from cooking greens, with cornbread.
Waffle House never closes
Every location is open 24 hours, which makes it the reliable late-night refuel after an evening heat.
Use the BeltLine entrance at Ponce City Market
You can walk straight in from the trail on the third floor, then head down to the food hall.
Getting to Georgia World Congress Center
From Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
MARTA's Airport station is inside the Domestic Terminal, between the North and South baggage claims. Take a Red or Gold Line train north to Five Points, then change to a westbound Blue or Green Line train for one stop to SEC District. Tap a contactless card or phone at the gates.
