Are you a female runner ready to embrace a brand new experience in running? If so, let us tell you about the Nike After Dark Tour Final in London's Excel on Sunday, 23 November 2025. London has been chosen by the Nike Run Club promotions team as the showcase for the final act in the 2025 Nike After Dark Tour series, which has already seen nocturnal women-only races held in Sydney, Shanghai, Seoul, Mumbai, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.

So far, women runners have raced after dark in three half marathons and three 10K events. Now it's time for London to join the party, with a unique format that includes an optional 1K qualifier to establish your starting position in one of three 10K waves.

Overlooking the River Thames, east of Canary Wharf, Excel London provides the perfect venue for a 10K race like you’ll never have seen before. The carefully designed course will provide a seamless blend of indoor and covered outdoor spaces to handle every condition. Come rain or moonlight, the race is on!

The qualifier races will be held between 2.00pm and 3.00pm on an indoor course measuring 1,000m. The three 10K races are scheduled between 5.00pm and 8.00pm on an indoor/outdoor circuit, with multiple laps providing plenty of opportunities for spectator support. Runners who have run the 1K trial will be rewarded with a grid position ahead of the non-qualifiers. The fastest qualifiers will be seeded at the front of the fastest 10K race.

To keep you entertained before or after your race, Nike Run Club provides the Nike After Dark Tour Expotique and post-race Concert, with live music. Entertainment and curated pre-run and post-run services and experiences will be available during the event. Food and drink concessions will be available within the Expotique and throughout the host venue.

Entries cost £35, to include a 1K Qualifier and a 10K race, the Expotique, the after-party, the race pack, a special piece of race jewellery, and many surprises. Not surprisingly, tickets sold out rapidly after they went on sale on 17 July 2025. However, spectators can still attend and support the participants from designated cheer zones along the course.

As part of the After Dark Tour London, Nike is proud to support The Outrunners – one of their long-term community partners. The Outrunners is a charity that leverages the power of running to create an equal London, where everyone is included and no one is left behind. As part of Nike’s commitment to the future of youth sport, Nike invests in The Outrunners’ youth programme, supporting the next generation, especially girls, to build a love of running.
