The TEN is a track and field meeting held at the JSerra Catholic High School track in San Juan Capistrano, California, United States. Since 2023 it is a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver level meeting – the third-highest level of international athletics meetings behind the Diamond League and Gold tier.[1]

The TEN was founded in 2021 by Jesse Williams and is sponsored by Sound Running. It was inspired by the Night of the 10,000m PBs. In addition to prize money, athletes are paid by sharing revenue and tips from a pay-per-view broadcast of the event. In its founding year, only a men's and women's 10,000 metres were contested, but in subsequent years other running events were added as required to bring the meeting up to Continental Tour Silver status. The Silver designation awards extra World Athletics Rankings points for placement, helping athletes qualify for athletics at the Summer Olympics and World Athletics Championships competitions.[2]

In 2022, Grant Fisher set the U.S. record for 10,000 m at the event.[3] The following year, both the British and American records were set in the women's 10,000 m by Eilish McColgan and Alicia Monson, respectively.[4]
