After Dark Tour: Nike’s women-focused night race comes to Manila for the first time

Featuring a scenic 10km race that starts at KM0 in Rizal Park, the Nike After Dark Tour Manila 2026 is happening for the first time ever this coming November 21.

A global race series designed for women and powered by Nike, After Dark Tour brings together sport, self-expression and the energy of running after the sun goes down.

This year 2026, the series spans seven major cities around the world, including Manila, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Mumbai, Shanghai and Sydney.

The Manila stop will feature a 10km race, inviting women of all backgrounds and abilities to step onto the starting line together for an evening built around movement, confidence, culture and community.

Now in its second year, the After Dark Tour builds on Nike’s longstanding commitment to supporting women runners around the world. The inaugural tour drew more than 50,000 women across seven races on five continents, with one in three participants racing for the first time.

The Manila race continues that momentum, creating a dedicated space for women to run, connect and celebrate what they are capable of-whether they are chasing a personal best, signing up for their first 10K or making the night unforgettable with their closest friends.

The race starts at KM0 at Roxas Boulevard, with runners pounding the wide-open lanes of the highway under the night sky.

The course will take them through the historic streets of Old Manila, along landmarks such as Intramuros, the National Museum, and Jones Bridge, before finally ending at the finish line at Quirino Grandstand.

Expect the After Dark Tour weekend to be the ultimate girls’ weekend, full of activations at the Race Village, exclusive Nike Experiences, Finish Line celebrations and the iconic ADT finisher medal, designed to be worn as a necklace, bracelet, keychain loop or belt chain.

Across the tour, runners will also experience Nike’s latest running, training and sportswear innovations, designed to help women look good, feel good and perform at 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.
