Nike wants to run 10,000 women through Hermosa Beach on a Saturday night in October. The Parks Commission said...not so fast.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission voted 3-2 on Monday night to forward the Nike After Dark Tour LA 2026 to City Council for a public hearing — but pointedly declined to recommend approval of the event, which would bring an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 runners through Hermosa Beach on a Saturday evening in October.
Council green-lights Nike's After Dark women's half marathon in concept, but sends it back for more money, better resident protections, and clarity on what other cities are getting in return for their support.
Unanimous vote will see proposal advance to Council next month. Greenbelt and Valley Park are favored options.
