I have Trabuco 13 and normal Ultra glide 1 and 3. They are all comfyultra glide have more cushioning and would be better for 100k but I did a 55k recently in Tabucos and had zero issues.
I’m the same as you and love my Saucony lineup for road. I have yet to find a trail shoe I love (have tried Hokas, Topos, and Saucony). The closest I’ve come to a trail shoe I like is the Salomon S/Lab Ultra Glide. I don’t love the lacing system. I don’t *love* them overall but was able to get through a 50k and training okay. Curious to hear recommendations and what you end up going with!
I’ve tried a few: Salomon Ultra Glide 1.5 is fast but narrow, Hoka Tecton X 2 is comfy but less quick, and Asics Metafuji Trail balances speed and traction well. Go for something light and grippy for long runs.
Aero Glide GRVL or if you want something a lot less bouncy Ultra Glide 3 or if you want something much firmer Genesis or if you want something much more expensive but still firm then S/Lab Genesis or if you want something less firm but still expensive with a little bit of bounce then S/Lab Ultra Glide 1.5.
I would go with the GRVL personally, fantastic shoe.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
