Please read these Event Terms & Conditions carefully.
These Event Terms & Conditions, taken together with the Participant Release, constitute a binding agreement as to your participation in the Nike After Dark Mexico City 21.1km (“After Dark”). After Dark will consist of a 21.1 kilometer race (the “Race”) and a Post-Race Celebration (the “Celebration”) on October 3rd 2026 (collectively, the “Event”).
**NOTE: Event, including event date, race course, start/finish locations and distance are subject to council approvals and may be cancelled or changed as required in accordance with these Event Terms & Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Event Terms & Conditions, if the Event is cancelled because council approval and permits necessary to conduct the Event are not obtained, and in circumstances where a participant’s application has been accepted and their credit card charged, Nike will refund the entry fee, within [10-15] business days from the date of cancellation, using the original method of payment. For the avoidance of doubt, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws (and without excluding or limiting any of your rights that cannot by law be excluded or limited), this will not extend to Nike being liable for any other costs, expenses, claims or liability, including without limitation travel, accommodation, or any other expenses.

Participants are required to confirm, through a health waiver, that they are in adequate health condition to participate in the Event; no detailed medical information will be collected as part of the registration process. Participants must update Nike immediately in case of any changes to emergency contact details or health conditions. All personal information collected will be processed in accordance with Company’s Privacy Policy available at www.nike.com
- Registration Opening & Closing: Registration for participation in the Event will be accepted from May 21st 2026 following the public announcement of registration opening by Nike through its official social media channels, until all entries are sold out. The Event has a capacity limit and entry is on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Nike reserves the right to close registrations before the end date where Event capacity has been reached. Nike also reserves the right to extend this period at its discretion including where Event capacity has not been reached.
- Entry fee and application process: The entrance fee for the race is MXN $1000 including taxes. The fee includes access to the Expotique, participant race bib, participant tee shirt, and post-race celebration access. As part of the application process, participants will be required to provide a credit card number and, should their application be successful, the event registration fees will be debited from their card. A participant’s credit card will not be charged unless they accept these Event Terms & Conditions and Participant Release. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly stated in these Event Terms & Conditions, entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. The entry fee is processed automatically when submitting a successful application. When completing the application participants should use a credit card that has an expiration date of October 2026 or later. A participant’s entry is not guaranteed upon application, but only upon them receiving notification that it has been successful and payment in cleared funds is received.
- Pace Requirement & Course Completion: Participants must be capable of completing the full distance 21.1 kilometer Race within four hours for operational and safety reasons, including road closures and event logistics, unless otherwise communicated by Nike. Participants who are unable to maintain the required pace may be redirected off the course or assisted to designated support areas, in accordance with event operations. NOTE: Race course/distance is subject to council approvals and may be altered as required.
- Age Restrictions: To register, participants must be 18 years of age or older on Race day.
- Nike Member Requirement: Participants must be, or otherwise sign up to become, a Nike member at no cost to the participant before their race bib will be issued.

- Participant Release: Each participant must read and agree to/sign a Participant Release as a condition of participation in the Event, during the registration process including confirming they are medically fit to participate in the Event and have trained adequately for the Event.
- Course and Event conditions: The running experience and event activities will include loud music and lighting effects on and off-course. Participants with flashing light sensitivity or photosensitive epilepsy must review event details and assess suitability, including obtaining qualified medical guidance where necessary, based on their individual circumstances prior to registering.
Due to the technical characteristics of the course (which may include uneven terrain, stairs, narrow spaces and low-light areas), the Event may present limitations for certain participants, including those with reduced mobility; participants are encouraged to assess the suitability of the Event based on their individual circumstances.
- Entry Transfers: Participant registrations and bibs are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged or sold. The sale or transfer of Race entries or bib numbers is strictly prohibited and may result in disqualification and/or in cases of material violations (including any sale or transfer of entries or bib numbers) or repeated breaches of these Event Terms & Conditions, a ban from future events for all parties involved. All entry fees paid in connection with entries that are disqualified due to such a breach are non-refundable.
- Changes in personal circumstances: To the maximum extent permitted by law, except as otherwise specified in the Event Changes and Cancellation section immediately below, all Race entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. This includes if a participant is unable to participate in the Race, for example due to changes in personal circumstances, change of mind, illness, surgeries or injuries. Nothing in these Event Terms & Conditions shall exclude or limit any term or guarantee which, under statute, cannot be excluded or limited. Where such liability cannot be excluded, but may be limited, Nike and the Released Parties limit their liability to the maximum extent permitted by law. In these Event Terms & Conditions, “Released Parties” means Nike and its affiliates and subsidiaries, their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, distributors, partners, representatives, contractors, successors, assigns, and insurers, all Event organisers, promoters, sponsors, advertisers, volunteers, and staff, and all owners or lessors of premises used in connection with the Event.
- Event Changes and Cancellation: Without limiting any other aspect of these Event Terms & Conditions, Nike and Event officials reserve the right to delay, change, cancel or suspend the Event (in whole or in part) due to events beyond their reasonable control, including inclement weather (such as severe thunderstorms, excessive winds or other hazardous conditions) earthquakes, other natural disasters, public disorder, public safety concerns, governmental orders, or for any reason whatsoever. In the event of a changed or cancelled Event due to a circumstance beyond Nike’s reasonable control as the examples above, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws and without excluding or limiting any participant rights that cannot by law be excluded or limited, a participant’s entry fee will be non-refundable and Nike will not be responsible for any costs incurred by the participant, including travel, accommodation, or any other expenses. Nike will not have any liability or responsibility to the participant in such cases. If the Event is cancelled because council approval and permits necessary to conduct the Event are not obtained, and in circumstances where a participant’s application has been accepted and their credit card charged, Nike will refund the entry fee. For the avoidance of doubt, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws (and without excluding or limiting any participant rights that cannot by law be excluded or limited), this will not extend to Nike being liable for any other costs, expenses, claims or liability, including without limitation travel, accommodation, or any other expenses.
