Terrex Agravic 3

Rocky 50k in Huntsville, TX on Saturday. I was planning to run in MtC H1. Now it looks like it's going to rain and I'm considering the Adidas Terrex Agravic 3, my only other trail shoe and the only one with real lugs (4mm inner, 5mm outer). The H1's have little 2mm lugs. I have a couple hundred miles in the latter, but only one 15mi run in the Adidas (Pentland Hills in Scotland). They've been sitting unused since. I'm wondering if I should go with the longer lugs for potentially wet ground on those piney woods trails.

mejo mabigat yan pero comfortable

Try on some Terrex Agravic 3s. Pretty affordable, lightweight, good tech and I find them stable

I had the SG5, which seems to be very similar to the 6, and run in the Agravic 3 right now. For me they are very similar. Both do well on fire roads, single trails, more technical stuff, and both can take road segments too. Both very good grip. The Agravic fits me better for my wide feet. So I'd try on both and decide purely by comfort/fit, the rest is more or less the same (level of 'great').

Damn! Just bought some Terrex Agravic 3 for my autumn/winter park runs. This would've solve my concerns.

Adidas Agravic 3's tend to go no sale quite often. That's a solid trail shoe. Brooks Divide is also a solid budget option - cheap to begin with and they also go on sale. Keep an eye out for Merrell sales too - Long Sky 2 Matryx is great, but the regular non-Matryx version is also good, and cheaper.

How technical is the trail? I have the Agravic Speed and the energy return feels great to me, but they are not super stable for technical terrain and I hear the Ultra is even less so. I recently did a 28km trail race and used the Agravic 3 and they felt perfect for that terrain. Between the two you're looking at I think the Speed is a better bet but you're ideally going to be running fast and on the forefoot since that's where it feels best.
