Athletes from all over the world gather in San Juan Capistrano each March for The World’s Fastest 10KIn just a few years, The Ten has produced over a dozen National Records and both American Records, cementing its reputation as the premier 10,000m event.

From Alicia Monson’s American Record in 2023 to Grant Fisher’s historic 26:33.84 in 2022, this event delivers jaw-dropping performances year-after-year. The 2024 Ten saw eight men run under 27:00 and the first-ever sub-30:00 women’s 10K on U.S. soil.

For 2025, The Ten expands with an all-day high school session presented by HOKA, giving young athletes the chance to open their season in SoCal’s fastest track meet.

Now, here’s why you can’t afford to miss The Ten this year:

1️⃣ The Fastest 10K on the Planet

5️⃣ History in Every Lap

6️⃣ Prime Time Racing Under the Lights

The TOKYO and SPIKE-sponsored 10,000m races create an electric late-night racing atmosphere you don’t want to miss.
