In short: Not one for the bucket-list as such; but a solid ten miler that ticks all the boxes.
In full: At first glance this race is a straightforward, flat 10 mile road race. It starts in a business park, though the scenery does pick up after that. I can't think of any one specific outstanding thing about this race that keeps me returning every year (though I do like the distance). It's just that they do everything right for a relatively cheap entry fee. This year they got the directions right (after last year's mini-debacle). My only slight complaint is the queues for the toilets - more port-a-loos please!

In short: 60th anniversary - it's not a fluke.
In full: After a break of a few years Maidenhead Easter 10 is my 10 mile pb again. It;s not the most scenic course, but works perfectly for parking etc.
Enough toilets if you don't decide to join the queue in the last 10 minutes before the start.
Great marshals, and a lot of familiar faces.

In short: Well organised race, good for a PB
In full: First part of the course is rather boring but after that it improves. Marshalling and organisation good as always, and the lack of significant hills gives a good chance of a PB.

In full: Very well organised and good value. Liked the medal and the refreshments were very good. Easy parking. Well done to all the helpers and marshals. Not enough toilets and course is on the dull side.

In short: Fantastic organisation, well supported and easy parking
In full: My first time at this race. Its a very slick operation with more marshalls than I have seen on any other race. Big downside for me were the 3 laps of the business park, which were quite dull. The scenery outside was also nothing special but it was a quick course. Very nice medal medal as well!

In short: Lovely route: eventually!
In full: Great Easter 10 MAC - thank you!
Once you get out of the business park, there's only about 6 1/2 miles left, which is mostly through lovely country side.
A friendly and well-attended race. Well-organised and well-supported.
