Yeah, not a rare occurrence for average speeds to be as low as 15 kph on a muddy, challenging course.
I'd say there's potential for that first race over running and the others being a bit long, especially when you consider women and vets are generally only used to racing for 40mins.

We are hoping the course and prizes bring out the best in people.
Once we have ridden the complete course on the morning of the event we will make make any adjustments required.

Main races are for Cyclocross bikes only and will run for 45 minutes plus 3 laps each.
Winners will receive £500 prize money and there's a selection of great prizes supplied by our sponsors too.
The Anything Goes Race is a run what you brung race.
Embody the spirit of ThunderCross by racing something a bit different or not racing in lycra or skinsuit.
Prizes for winners and those who challenge themselves by using inappropriate bikes or clothing.
Be imaginative.
The fun race is 5 laps (roughly 13km).
Timings so far:
Anything Goes race start 12:15
13KM
Women start at 13:00
45 mins plus 3 Laps
Men start 14:30
45 mins plus 3 laps
We might be opening up the course for familiarisation earlier in the day.
I will confirm or make any announcements here and on FB
