Seven global cities. One electrifying tour. Built for women, powered by Nike.

The After Dark Tour is returning for 2026, continuing Nike’s commitment to inviting more women into sport through races designed to celebrate community, self-expression and the power of running — all after the sun goes down.

Spanning seven major cities across the world, the Nike After Dark Tour empowers women to step onto the starting line together for an evening that blends sport, culture and community into a one‑of‑one experience at every stop.

With 10K and half-marathon races, the tour invites women of all backgrounds and abilities to push new limits and celebrate their collective power and potential.

Races in the 2026 Nike After Dark Tour include:

• London: 10K
• Los Angeles: half marathon
• Manila: 10K
• Mexico City: half marathon
• Mumbai: 10K
• Shanghai: 10K
• Sydney: half marathon

Now in its second year, the After Dark Tour builds on Nike’s longstanding history of supporting women runners around the world. Between 2005 and 2015, Nike hosted a series of women’s races in major cities globally. In 2025, the brand carried that legacy forward with the launch of the After Dark Tour, inspiring a new generation of runners and creating a space where women feel seen, supported and motivated.

That approach resonated strongly during the inaugural After Dark Tour, which drew more than 50,000 women to seven races across five continents. One in three participants were first‑time racers, and nearly half said they signed up because they were drawn to a women‑oriented race experience.

Each stop extends far beyond a traditional race format, offering runners a fully immersive experience featuring curated pre‑race moments, on‑course energy and post‑race celebrations of movement, confidence and community.

The After Dark Tour also showcases Nike’s latest running, training and sportswear innovations — all designed to help women look good, feel good and perform their best. The same performance technologies developed for Nike’s elite athletes are available to everyday runners, reinforcing the brand’s belief that innovation should serve all athletes, at every level.
