The D10 (formerly known as The Wall Street Decathlon) is national athletic tour that brings together post-collegiate “executive athletes” who use their collective athleticism to produce a profound impact on pediatric cancer research. Test your athleticism by tackling 10 events; 400m run, Football throw, Pull-ups, 40yd dash, Dips, 500m row, Vertical jump, 20yd shuttle sprint, Bench Press, and 800m run.
The D10 involves athletic events commonly performed at the NFL Scouting Combine, Olympic decathlon, and on the playground. The events are;
400m run
Football throw
Pull-ups
40yd dash
Dips
500m row
Vertical jump
20yd shuttle
Bench press
800m run
Yes it is. We believe world-class sporting event should produce a huge philanthropic impact. The D10 aligns with the premier pediatric cancer institutions in North America and D10 registrants guarantee their spot on the playing field only by meeting The D10’s fundraising requirements.
Yes, HERE is The D10 Rule Book for your reference.
YES. In June 2016, The D10 appeared on NBC Sports Network. You may watch the replay online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4QALbuZ2g8&feature=youtu.be
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.

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)
Yes, there is a Men’s Scoring table and Women’s Scoring table.
Each event is worth 1,000 points.
In the INDIVIDUAL D10, an athlete may earn 100 bonus points in any given event if (a) the athlete wins an event and (b) breaks that event's record.
For example, if “Joe Smith” wins the Vertical Jump with a leap of 47”, he earns 100 bonus points since (a) he won the Vertical and (b) he broke the event record of 43.5"
Yes, here is the The TEAM D10 Fundraising Scoring Table.
2, 3 or 4 people per team. The choice is up to your team Captain.
No, 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 The D10 NYC, there is a one-time registration fee of $1,000.
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-2 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.
YES, fundraising affects your score. There are 26,667 points available in The TEAM D10. Your team may earn up to 6,667 points from your fundraising performance and up to 20,000 points from your athletic performance.
In New York, the minimum is $8,000 per team. In all other markets, the minimum is $6,000 per team.
Yes, mixed gender teams are encouraged.
The fundraising minimums are easily achievable for any team that makes a sincere effort. The D10 is a fundraising event involving an inspiring community of leaders and up-and-comer's who set a benchmark. 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 fun and approachable, and you’ll be in an incredibly motivating environment that you’ll want to give all 10 events a shot. Of course, if you’re injured and need to bypass an event, that’s cool too.
To register to compete as an INDIVIDUAL in The D10 NYC, there is a one-time registration fee of $395.
To register to compete as an INDIVIDUAL in any/all other markets, there is a one-time registration fee of $305.
No. The D10 was once an event exclusively for those employed in the financial services sector. That restriction was lifted in-part in 2016, and in-full in 2017. We welcome “Executive Athletes” from energy, tech, professional services, healthcare, etc. Our community in New York and other markets remains comprised largely of men and women employed in financial services.
In New York, the fundraising minimum is $3,000 per person in order to guarantee your spot on the playing field.
For all other markets, the fundraising minimum is $2,000 per person in order to guarantee your spot on the playing field.
