A week later and we’re still feeling the energy. In a world where 10,000m races are becoming increasingly rare, The Ten stands as one of the few chances for athletes to chase one of the toughest standard in track and field—and punch their ticket to global championships. World standards aren’t achieved by accident. They demand precise pacing, deep fields, and a stage designed for one purpose: fast 10Ks. For athletes, it’s a rare shot at an unforgiving event. For fans, it’s a front-row seat to an event that built distance running’s legacy. There aren’t many meets built for it anymore. It takes the right pacing, the right field, and the right setup to give people a real shot. That’s what The Ten is about. Photos from the talented kevmofoto #theten
