After the sun goes down. After classes and homework are finished. After everyone kicks their shoes off for the night. We lace up. On 21 June 2025, the Nike After Dark Tour takes over Ciudad Universitaria, 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. This is our return to the streets of Mexico City, with a nocturnal half-marathon and an unrelenting post-race celebration. It's an invitation to run defiantly into the night, chasing after a high that only the endorphins of a 21.1K under the stars can offer. Our route has been traced to challenge runners and take them out of their comfort zone in a stunning location that will offer breathtaking landscapes and a you-have-to-race-it-to-believe-it backdrop. As the world is winding down, we're just getting warmed up.
