ATHENS, GA — February 17, 2026 — The Metro Atlanta Cycling Club (MACC) invites cycling teams and clubs to secure one of the most coveted viewing locations this April at the Athens Orthopedic Clinic Twilight presented by St. Mary’s Health Care System – the MACC Crit Corner, located just after turn 4 along the finish straight of a legendary cornerstone in the world of American criterium racing.
A feature of an expanded three-day group of events at the AOC Twilight, April 18th’s MACC Crit Corner gives riders and supporters a front-row experience at one of the fastest and most technical race finales in the United States.

Prime viewing location exclusive for MACC Crit Corner participants
