Tokyo – – September 17, 2026 -- Science in Sport (SiS) has been named the official performance fuel and hydration partner of the Nike After Dark Tour, a seven-city night-running series expected to draw more than 55,000 participants globally in 2026.
SiS and Nike launch first co-branded performance nutrition range
The partnership marks the first time Nike has created a co-branded nutrition range with a performance nutrition company. The collaboration spans energy, hydration and recovery products, backed by a dedicated microsite and participant education program.
Every runner receives a race-specific SiS x Nike Race Pack
All participants across the seven Tour events will be issued a bespoke race pack covering hydration, energy and recovery needs. A limited version of the range will go on public sale in the UK, US and Australia starting September 4, 2026.
Recovery line built with female physiology research
The range includes recovery products developed with female nutrition considerations in mind, informed by a qualitative study of 18 elite athletes, sport-nutrition practitioners and researchers published in the Women in Sport and Physical Activity Journal (2022). Run Recovery Clear delivers 25g carbohydrate, 20g clear whey protein and 5g collagen; Run Recovery Endurance contains 40g dual-source carbohydrate, 20g clear whey protein and 5g collagen. Both formulas add vitamin C, sodium, zinc, vitamins D3 and K2, calcium, folate, iodine, curcumin, pomegranate extract and a B-vitamin complex.
Tour spans seven cities through year-end 2026
The 2026 schedule includes Shanghai (10K, April 25), Sydney Half Marathon (September 27), Mexico City Half Marathon (October 3), London 10K (October 17), Los Angeles Half Marathon (October 24), Manila 10K (November 21) and Mumbai 10K (December 12).
