The Adidas Games, formerly the adidas BOOST Boston Games and today officially known as the adidas Atlanta City Games, is an annual track and field meeting and street meet in Atlanta, Georgia. The event was originally held in Boston, Massachusetts from 2016 to 2021, and it was relocated to Atlanta City in 2023. The event was announced on the same day the Adidas Grand Prix meet in New York was removed from the Diamond League schedule in 2016.[1][2]

When the meet was held in Boston, the traditional track events were held in the Henry G. Steinbrenner Stadium on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while the street meet portion was held on an elevated straight track constructed between Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden.[3] Currently, it is held in Piedmont Park (the finish line of the Peachtree Road Race, with junior events at Eddie S Henderson Stadium across the street.

The event has hosted several Olympic track and field athletes, including 400 m world record holder and Rio gold medalist Wayde van Niekerk in 2017.[4]
