After the sun goes down. After classes and homework are done. After everyone kicks their shoes off for the night. We lace up. On 27 April, 2025, the Nike After Dark Tour ignites in Shanghai, a celebration of women's running, community, and self-expression. Inspired by the voices and insights of female runners, this series is designed to bring women to the forefront, fostering a sense of belonging, and connection.  After hours, Módū ("City of Magic") transforms into a glowing cityscape pushing runners outside of their comfort zone. With its pulsing streets and local flavors at every corner, this is a city that refuses to go quietly into the night. Chase the unique fusion of culture and community in a setting that never slows down on this stop of the After Dark Tour.
