Science in Sport (SiS) has announced a global partnership with Nike, becoming the Official Performance Fuel & Hydration Partner of the Nike After Dark Tour.
The collaboration marks the first time Nike has developed a co-branded nutrition range with a performance nutrition partner. The product line will support over 55,000 runners across seven night-running events worldwide.
As part of the agreement, every Nike After Dark Tour participant will receive a race-specific SiS x Nike Race Pack covering energy, hydration and recovery needs. The co-branded nutrition range includes bespoke recovery formulations developed with female nutrition in mind. A limited selection of the product line was made available for public purchase in the UK, US and Australia on September 4, 2026.
The custom product lineup includes two recovery formulations alongside a micronutrient product offering :
- Run Recovery Clear: Formulated with 25g carbohydrate, 20g clear whey protein and 5g collagen.
- Run Recovery Endurance: Formulated with 40g dual-source carbohydrate, 20g clear whey protein and 5g collagen.
- Micronutrient blend: Both formulations include vitamin C, sodium, zinc, vitamins D3 and K2, calcium, folate, iodine, curcumin, pomegranate extract and a B-vitamin complex.
Dan Lampard, Chief Commercial & Operating Officer at Science in Sport, said “What makes this partnership different is that we’ve started with the runner, not the product. Together with Nike, we’ve created a complete fueling system around what runners need to prepare, perform and recover at their best. It brings the performance nutrition principles used at the highest level of sport into a simple, accessible experience for tens of thousands of runners across the Nike After Dark Tour.”
