Since 2006, the Power of 10 has been the silent driving force behind the steady rise in UK athletics performances — from school tracks to the Olympic stage. Its mission is simple but powerful: to motivate athletes of all ages by setting clear performance targets and providing a trusted system to track results, rankings and progress year after year. We collect performance data for the following categories: Track & Field, Cross Country, and Road & Distance. The general remit of the Power of 10 website is to record all performances achieved by UK athletes, in line with agreed entry standards, in order to maintain a clear and accurate record of how performances are improving in all areas and across all age groups.
