* With the race set for 12 December 2026, spots are expected to move fast for Nike’s women-focused night race
The city lights are calling. Get your crew together, mark your calendars and get ready to claim your spot. Nike After Dark Tour Mumbai returns on 12 December 2026, giving women of all backgrounds and abilities the chance to be part of one of Nike’s most anticipated global running experiences.
The Mumbai stop will feature a 10K race, welcoming women to step onto the starting line together for an evening built around sport, confidence, culture and community. With race registrations moving quickly across the global tour, runners are encouraged to prepare early, rally their friends and be ready to register as soon as entries open at 10:00am IST, on 24 August 2026.
The Nike After Dark Tour is a global race series built for women and powered by Nike, bringing together sport, self-expression and the energy of running after the sun goes down. In 2026, the series spans seven major cities around the world, including Shanghai, Sydney, Mexico City, London, Los Angeles, Manila and Mumbai. Now in its second year, the After Dark Tour builds on Nike’s longstanding history of 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 Mumbai race continues that momentum, creating a dedicated space for women to run, connect and celebrate what they are capable of.
“Nike After Dark Tour last year was about so much more than crossing a finish line. It created a sense of community, where women showed up for themselves and each other, pushing boundaries, building connections, and inspiring one another every step of the way. Being a part of that collective energy firsthand was incredibly powerful, and I’m excited to see even more women lace up, take that first step, and experience the confidence, connection, and sense of belonging that make this community so special,” said Sahirah Oshidar, Nike After Dark Tour Global Ambassador and Founder of On Tour Club.
The experience begins long before race night. In the weeks leading up to the race, Nike will host guided training sessions led by Nike Running Coaches and curated pre-race community experiences designed to make the journey to the starting line both fun and rewarding. Together, these experiences will help participants prepare for race day, build confidence and connect with the broader running community.
You can also expect the After Dark Tour weekend to be the ultimate girls’ weekend, full of activations, exclusive Nike experiences, on-course energy, finish-line celebrations and the iconic After Dark Tour 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.
“The inaugural Nike After Dark Tour in 2025 showed the incredible appetite for women’s running in India and we’re excited to bring the tour back to Mumbai and welcome even more women to the starting line this year,” said Tarundeep Singh, General Manager, Nike India. “Whether they’re taking on their first 10K, chasing a new personal best, or sharing the experience with friends, Nike After Dark Tour is about giving women the confidence, support and inspiration to discover what’s possible when they challenge themselves to go further together.”
The Mumbai leg of the tour is supported by a roster of partners including Hyperice as the Recovery Partner, Nykaa as the Beauty Partner, and Science in Sport as the Hydration Partner.
