Faces of the 9th Edition
The night we ran
Dar Night Run 2026 marked the 9th Edition of The Runners Club's after-dark race. Since its beginning in 2016, the event has grown into a tradition for runners from across Tanzania and the region.
Held on Saturday, 29 August 2026 in Oysterbay, the edition brought together the 10 KM and 15 KM distances under the city lights. These portraits remember the energy of the night.
Thank you to the runners, supporters and partners who were part of the 2026 edition.
