After Dark Tour ©2026

Now in its second year, this iconic women’s race series was built for women, powered by Nike. Unapologetically crafted for her, the Nike After Dark Tour combines the joy of running with an electrifying nighttime experience that seamlessly blends sport, culture and community, resulting in a one-of-one event at every stop. This unique experience was designed to bring women runners of all backgrounds and abilities together, fostering a sense of community, self-expression and unapologetic self-belief that leaves participants feeling seen, supported, and motivated. Informed by insights from women athletes, the Nike After Dark Tour represents Nike’s commitment to creating meaningful sport experiences that support, challenge and empower women through cutting-edge innovations and community-driven design.

With races in varying distances — from a 10K to a half marathon — the Nike After Dark Tour offers women everywhere an opportunity to show up for themselves, push boundaries and celebrate their collective power and potential like never before. The tour provides its participants with both an exciting nightlife experience and the sense of empowerment that comes from successfully crossing a finish line, going beyond traditional races by offering curated pre-race activities, on-course experiences, recovery zones and a post-race celebration event.

The 2026 Nike After Dark Tour empowers women to cross the line at night together in seven major cities across the globe: Shanghai, Sydney, London, Mumbai, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Manila.

Dates for each race will be announced on an on-going basis.

Race distances differ by city. Participants will run 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in Shanghai, London, Manila, and Mumbai, while Sydney, Mexico City, and Los Angeles will feature a half marathon (or 21 kilometers / 13.1 miles).

Nike After Dark Tour was created for women. Each city may have particular legal requirements for participation, which will be listed on the registration page for that city.

Each city will set a capacity to ensure the best experience for runners.

The Nike Run Club (NRC) app has everything runners need to start running, keep running, and prepare for the Nike After Dark Tour races. Runners can download the NRC app to access the official Nike After Dark training plan. The training plans include recommended recovery runs, speed runs, long runs and audio-guided options to keep runners motivated as they train and get them closer to their goals and the finish line. Tailored After Dark Tour training plans are all designed to build your strength and skills to take on a 10K and/or a half marathon. Training plans include a 14-week half marathon training plan, and an 8-week 10K training plan.

While our goal is to welcome more women runners to the starting line and accommodate all paces, each city will have specific criteria, rules and regulations based on local laws that determine the maximum cut-off time for each race. When registration opens, please refer to your specific city's race rules to plan accordingly.

Participation rules might vary according to local regulations. When registration opens, check the race requirements for your chosen city.

Nike is committed to creating meaningful sport experiences that support, challenge and empower women through cutting-edge innovations and community-driven design. Nike will continue listening to the voice of the athlete to determine how best to serve and inspire them. We are focused on delivering impactful races in seven cities in 2026, and we will share updates on future race opportunities as available.

Registration open will vary by race location. You can sign up to get notified when registration opens per city within each race location site page.

Each race location will feature a variety of ways for people to celebrate and lift up all the runners who are stepping onto the starting line — from showing support throughout their training journeys to cheering on race day.
