As an often runner of the 3 peaks I thinks it qualifies as an A in that to the top of the third peak that's exactly what it is, but with a 5 mile run in tacked on the end. That and its speed for the distance which in many ways makes it harder. Mind you the high peak marathon and the fellsman are both super tough and they for sure will only qualify as BL's. They're just letters to be honest and alone mean nothing. For example I sometimes think many of the steep lakeland races are actually a bit easier because you have to walk the ups

Being Pedantic, the fellsman isn't technically a "true" fell race, as it's not an FRA-registered event...

I believe it comes under the same definition as LDWA challenge events.

Of course, in reality, most of the people doing it run it and are definitely racing at the front end, so it is a fell race from that point of view.

And it is definitely hard - not something I aspire to do any time in the near to mid future.
