Is it me or does it not matter one jot? Why do we worry about categorising things like this?
All these races are different. Each one has it's own atmosphere and charm.
The three peaks does have a special feel about it though, as though it's more of an event than a race. Whether it's down to tradition, the course, the size of the event, the time of year or some combination of these.
It's certainly not down to the the fact that it's down in the book as a category A race, erroneously or otherwise. So, why worry about it?
Hasn't this whole thread been about people who took up fell running three weeks ago finding solutions to a problem that people who have been running the Three Peaks for 50 years did not know existed?
And actually doesn't.
... I have to take issue with you there . (Is this the right room for an argument?)

Just posted a similar thread in "Equipment" but figured most of you would get the PPP race alert.
Got 2 tickets for sale if anyone is interested.
No not for a profit either
