Gather your running crew and set your alarms—registration for the much-anticipated Nike After Dark Tour Manila 2026 officially opens at 12:00 p.m. on July 29, with slots expected to fill quickly as the global women-focused race series makes its highly anticipated Manila debut.
Designed to celebrate movement, community, and self-expression, Nike After Dark Tour Manila invites women runners of all backgrounds and fitness levels to take part in a one-of-a-kind 10K night race that transforms the streets of the capital into a vibrant celebration of sport and empowerment.
As registrations for other stops on the global tour have sold out rapidly, aspiring participants are encouraged to prepare early and secure their spot as soon as registration opens.
Part of Nike’s global After Dark Tour, the 2026 series spans seven major cities worldwide—Manila, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Mumbai, Shanghai, and Sydney—bringing together women runners for an unforgettable experience that blends athletic achievement with culture, confidence, and connection.
Now in its second year, the After Dark Tour continues Nike’s commitment to championing women in sport. The inaugural edition attracted more than 50,000 women across seven races on five continents, with one in three participants taking part in their very first race—a testament to the tour’s inclusive and inspiring spirit.
The Manila leg promises to carry that momentum forward by creating a space where women can challenge themselves, celebrate their milestones, and share memorable moments with fellow runners. Whether it’s a first-ever 10K, a personal best attempt, or simply a fun night out with friends, the event is designed to make every participant feel like they belong on the starting line.
Runners will begin their journey at KM 0 along Roxas Boulevard, taking over its wide-open lanes beneath the city lights. The scenic night course winds through some of Manila’s most iconic landmarks, including the historic streets of Intramuros, the National Museum, and Jones Bridge, before culminating in a triumphant finish at the Quirino Grandstand.
But the experience goes beyond race day.
Nike is transforming the After Dark Tour weekend into the ultimate girls’ weekend, complete with interactive Race Village activations, exclusive Nike experiences, celebratory finish line festivities, and the coveted After Dark Tour finisher medal. Designed with versatility in mind, the collectible medal can be worn as a necklace, bracelet, keychain loop, or even a belt chain—making it both a badge of achievement and a stylish keepsake.
Participants will also get a firsthand look at Nike’s latest innovations in running, training, and sportswear. The brand’s cutting-edge performance technologies—developed for elite athletes and made accessible to everyday runners—underscore Nike’s belief that every athlete deserves products that help them perform, feel confident, and enjoy the sport.
Nike After Dark Tour Manila is shaping up to be more than just a race—it’s a celebration of women, movement, and the electric energy of running under the city lights.
Registration opens at 12:00 p.m. on July 29, 2026. With demand expected to be high, runners are encouraged to sign up early and secure their place at one of the year’s most exciting sporting events.
