Yes it is. We believe world-class athletic competition should produce a huge philanthropic impact. The D10 aligns with the premier pediatric cancer institutions in North America, and D10 registrants earn their spot on the playing field by meeting The D10’s fundraising requirements. Consult The D10 fundraising primer to take your donation game to the next level.
Yes, HERE is The D10 Rule Book for your reference.
YES. In November 2017, The D10 released its NORMA streaming software, which gives the viewer the power to "tune in at the perfect time." NORMA's cameras cover the playing field on event day, and NORMA's software puts you in the director's chair. Watch our homepage for instructions on how to get NORMA on your mobile device. Before you know it, live events from fashion shows to professional sports championships will be seen on NORMA. In the meantime, The D10 is the first live sporting event you get to watch on NORMA. Isn't that cool? Of course it is.
We got ya covered. The D10 offers a full, complimentary training program designed for athletes of all ages and all skill levels. We also give you complimentary access to the finest trainers and training facilities in every city that hosts a D10.
The D10 is an awesome event to watch live! Bring your whole family; there’s a kids play area at every D10, plus concessions, live music and professional announcers. Tickets for the 2018 New York event may be reserved here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-d10-new-york-tickets-44492191342

YES, The D10 offers the coolest trophies outside of professional sports. The awards categories are: 1st place overall male & female (Individual), age-group awards (Individual/depending on the market), Top Executive (Individual), Top Team, Top Fundraising Team (depending on the market), Top Fundraising Firm (depending on the market), and Top Individual Fundraiser (depending on the market)
Each event is worth up to 1,000 points.
In The D10's Individual contest, an athlete may earn 100 bonus points in any given event if the athlete (a) wins the event and (b) breaks that event's D10 record. For example, if “Jordan Madhops” wins the Vertical Jump in Chicago with a leap of 47 inches, he earns 100 bonus points since (a) he won the Vertical, and (b) he broke the event record of 43.5 inches.
Consult The D10 Scoring Tables for men and women to set your 2019 goals.
Consult The D10 Fundraising Points Table to set your team's 2019 fundraising goal.
Yes. The D10's community of executive athletes harnesses physical ability to make an elevated social impact.
The fundraising minimums aren't just a promise to our beneficiaries....they're a promise to our athletes that everyone on the playing field has dedicated time and effort to achieving our mission. There are no exceptions.
We ask you to think in terms of maximums, not minimums. Every year, D10 athletes who've never raised $1000 before unlock the power of our message and bring in more than they thought possible: $5,000...$10,000...sometimes $50,000. What's more, they have fun doing it when they discover that fundraising success works just like athletic training: technique + effort=RESULTS.
Consult The D10 fundraising primer to take your donation game to the next level.

Each team is two, three or four members. The choice is up to your team Captain.
You don’t have to register together. The Team Captain registers. Once registered, the Captain invites his/her teammates online through their Team D10 profile page. It’s just like sending an Evite to your birthday party.

To register a TEAM to compete in any other market, there is a one-time registration fee of $800.
Nope. That’s the beauty of The TEAM D10. Only the top TWO results in each of the 10 events earn your team points. So, as long as 2 people on your team complete an event, then your team earns points.

The D10 is a fundraising event. Our community of leaders and up-and-comers have set a benchmark that's achievable for any team that makes a sincere effort. Meet the minimum to earn your team’s ticket on to the playing field. Otherwise, watch The D10 on television and be inspired to join this community next year.
No. Just bring your A game.
No, but you are encouraged to try them all. They are all fun and approachable. The inspiration and camaraderie you'll get from other competitors in our training classes and on event day will give you everything you need to tackle all 10 events. Of course, if you’re injured and need to bypass an event, that’s cool, too.

Nope. Each market forms its own teams. We want you to focus on training and fundraising, not flights and hotels.
No hard feelings. But the Team Captain that attempted to draft you may spiral down into what George Costanza called the "It's not you. It's me!" routine.
