Nike's global women's running series is bringing its after-dark energy to Sydney. The Nike After Dark Tour hits the harbour city on Sunday 27 September 2026 with a 21km half marathon run, quite literally, after dark: think city lights, a stacked playlist, and thousands of women taking over the streets at night.
The After Dark Tour is designed top to bottom for women, and it's been a sell-out sensation across cities worldwide. Expect the full Nike production: pacers, hype squads, on-course entertainment and a finish-line party that makes the kilometres fly by.
Sydney's edition is built around the 21.1km half marathon, a proper challenge with a celebration attached. Whether you're chasing a night-time PB or just want to soak up the atmosphere, the half is the headline.
At the time of writing, Nike has locked in the date (27 September 2026) but the start venue and course are still under wraps, and registration hasn't opened yet. These premium Nike events move fast when entries drop, so the smart move is to head to the official Nike After Dark Tour website and register your interest now so you don't miss the start gun.
Running a half marathon through a major city at night, surrounded by thousands of women and a Nike-sized atmosphere, is a genuine bucket-list experience. Mark the date, sort your crew, and get ready to race the night away.
