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.

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.

[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.
