Olympic champions Noah Lyles and Grant Holloway, along with America’s standout female athlete Anna Hall, headline the 2025 adidas Atlanta City Games. Scheduled for Saturday, May 17, the highly anticipated event will once again unfold on a custom-built elevated track at Piedmont Park.
Designed as an all-day track and field festival, the adidas Atlanta City Games offers an immersive experience for fans, complete with a dedicated fan zone. As North America’s only street meet, the City Games breaks the traditional stadium mold, allowing spectators to witness world-class athletes compete in the open air, with free public access to all events.
Noah Lyles, the reigning Olympic 100m champion and American record-holder in the 200m, will take on the 150m. Joining him is Grant Holloway, an Olympic champion and six-time world champion in the hurdles, who remains unbeaten in the indoor 60m hurdles since 2015. Holloway will compete in the 110m hurdles, while Anna Hall, the 2023 World Championship silver medalist in the heptathlon, will showcase her versatility in the 100m hurdles and long jump.
The day will kick off with the Youth Mile & Dash, a free event open to the public that also serves as the season finale for Kilometer Kids, Atlanta Track Club’s youth running program. Simultaneously, Georgia’s top high school athletes will battle for meet-of-champions-style titles, with sprint events held at Midtown High School and field events like the long jump and pole vault taking place in Piedmont Park. The fastest high school sprinters will advance to finals on the elevated track, with automatic qualification granted to those who meet time standards or win state titles at the GHSA State Championships.
At 3:00 p.m., the focus will shift entirely to the professionals as Olympic and world champions take center stage for an electrifying afternoon of sprints, hurdles, and field events. Following the elite competitions, middle school athletes will get their moment to shine in age-group 100m races on the same elevated track. The evening concludes under the lights at Midtown High School, where Georgia’s top high school distance runners will compete in the 800m, 3200m, and Mile to cap off the championship-style meet.
“The adidas Atlanta City Games isn’t just another track meet—it’s where the world’s best and the sport’s rising stars share the same stage,” said CEO of Atlanta Track Club Rich Kenah as quoted by Atlanta News.
“One minute, you’re watching the future of track and field prove themselves. The next, you’re seeing Olympic champions go head-to-head at full speed. That’s what makes this event different—and why Atlanta is the perfect place for it.”
