Four things to do around Atlanta on Thursday, Mar. 24:

1. FEATURED
What are you training for? Spring is in the air and plenty of feet are hitting the pavement. Here are eight April races that you should keep in mind. [No doubt all of this training will leave you hungry. Refuel with one (or more) of the best appetizers Atlanta has to offer.]

2. FREE & CHEAP
Ready to laugh at the next generation of comedy stars? Head over to MegaVolt at Highwire Comedy Company for their 8 p.m. show. It's only $5 for general admission and free for Highwire students. Just take an umbrella. [Looking for some fun daytime options? Explore some of the best our city has to offer without spending a dime. Several Atlanta museums and attractions offer free admission.]

3. FOOD
Do you love stacking all of your favorite foods high on a plate? If so, the Build-Your-Own-Nachos night at the Original El Taco is where you need to be. Pile it up from 8:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. [Need to get your Japanese food fix? Genki Noodles and Sushi offers half-off appetizers and specials on wine by the glass.]

4. FAMILY-FRIENDLY
Go on a grand adventure and watch National Parks Adventure at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History on IMAX®. [Have a creative kid on your hands? Sign them up for the artful summer camps offered at the High Museum.]
