Course Route

The runners will congregate on the north-western side of the Maidenhead Office Park perimeter road.

They will start by doing a clockwise loop of the Maidenhead Office Park (MOP). At the fountain after the initial loop, the runners will turn left onto Westacott Way and continue to the top by the entrance to Woolley Hall (before the Bath Rd roundabout). Here the runners will do a U-turn and return to the fountain.

At the fountain, the runners will turn left and do a second loop of the MOP. At the fountain after the second loop, the runners will then turn left again and proceed up Westacott Way.

At the junction with Cycleway 4 (CW4), the runners will turn left onto CW4 and proceed to towards Bottle Lane. At the junction with Bottle Lane, the runners will turn left onto Bottle Lane and proceed towards White Waltham Village via Butchers Lane.

At the junction with Woodlands Park Road, the runners will turn left and head towards Woodlands Park passing the West London Aero Club on the left. At the bottom of Cannon Lane, the runners will turn left and then after about 300 yards turn left into Breadcroft Lane. The runners will continue up Breadcroft Lane over the railway bridge to the end where they will turn left into Cherry Garden Lane.

The runners will continue down Cherry Garden Lane and then immediately right onto CW4 again. At the junction with Westacott Way the runners will turn left and head down towards the fountain. At the fountain the runners will turn left and do a third loop of the MOP.

The finish is on the south-western side of the perimeter road before the right-hand bend that heads towards the Race HQ.

It is with regret that Phil Tottle who collapsed just before finishing the Easter Ten on Good Friday has passed away. He was a regular runner with the Vale Of Aylesbury AC and had also taken part in the Easter Ten on several occasions. The club would like to express their sympathy and condolences to his family and friends on this sad occasion.

To all those runners who took part in the 55th Easter Ten road race:

On behalf of the Maidenhead Athletic Club I would like to thank all the runners who took part in the 55th running of the Easter Ten road race for making the event a great success. There were 1445 entries and 1139 finishers. This was a record entry for us and a record number of finishers as well.

This year we had a new winner Elliot Robinson from Aldershot, Farnham & District AC who tackled the somewhat windy conditions to complete the course in 51:52. The winner of the ladies race was Sarah Gee from Reading Road Runners in an excellent 59:39.

The MAC would once again like to thank Nortel for allowing us to use their European HQ to host the Race HQ. This has enabled the ongoing success and continuity of what has become one of Britain's oldest road races. We have had some excellent feedback from various sources.

Many thanks also to all those who contributed to the Thames Valley Adventure Playground. This is a local self-funding charity that relies on donations from events such as ours.

Finally, I would personally like to thank all the members of the MAC who have helped put the race together over the last 6 months or so, including all those who helped on the day. We have had all the usual comments about friendly and encouraging marshal's.

Next year's race is on Good Friday 10th April 2009.

Regards
