After the sun goes down. After classes and homework are done. After everyone kicks their shoes off for the night. We lace up. On 12 April, 2025, the Nike After Dark Tour ignites in Sydney, 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. From the industrial backdrop of White Bay Ferry Terminal and killer views of Anzac Bridge to the sparkle of Darling Harbour and Pyrmont Bridge, every step of the race pushes you beyond your comfort zone. And the ultimate destination leads to one thing and one thing only: an epic, late-night celebration at Tumbalong Park.  This isn’t just a race—it’s Sydney like you’ve never ran it before.
