00:00Come with me to run the Nike After Dark Half Marathon in Los Angeles. I'm Sarah Tan,
00:04Global Beauty Director at Refinery29, and somehow I found myself running a half marathon on a
00:10Saturday night in full glam alongside 15,000 other women. This was not your ordinary half
00:16marathon though. It truly felt like we were at a festival, but also running the streets of
00:21Inglewood for the ultimate girls' night out. The route started and ended at SoFi Stadium
00:28and took us through the city. There were cheer squads, marching bands, DJs, and very kind
00:34strangers handing out electrolytes and bananas along the way. I loved this labubu sign. Here I am
00:41running up a freeway on-ramp that I'm usually stuck in traffic in. Two more miles.
00:47Approaching Kia Forum, almost at the finish line. Let's fucking go! To grab my Nike swoosh necklace
00:54medal. Also, at the end of the race, there were tons of snacks, tons of skincare refreshes. The best
01:00part, a post-race concert by the one and only Dochi. First, I needed to do a little bit of
01:06recovery.
01:06Here are my Norma Tech boots and Nike recovery shoes. Then, I felt like I had the energy to dance
01:13with Dochi. She was incredible. She was sweaty, sparkly, emotional, empowering, and a reminder
01:21that women deserve to feel safe, seen, and celebrated no matter the time of day or night.
01:25If you are feeling inspired, you should join Nike and run the next one.
