Athens Twilight 2026 is the annual Athens Orthopedic Clinic Twilight Criterium. It blends professional and amateur cycling with community races, a 5K run, kids’ events, live music, local food and drink, and a lively downtown street-festival atmosphere. The weekend culminates in high-speed women’s and men’s criterium races under evening lights as crowds line the streets to cheer on cyclists. Beyond the races, daytime festivities include community fun and cultural events that make it a highlight of the Classic City’s annual calendar. This year, Athens Twilight will be partnering with UGA International Street Festival to bring food from various countries and cultures to the event.
