Can you use XC flats for road racing and marathon races

Good question. Especially since you can often get top-line XC flats on discount for $25, while basic road racing shoes are 2-3 times that much minimum. But XC flats look like they don't have enough cushion for running on roads rather than on dirt trails.

Ric Sayre used to race marathons in spikeless cross shoes and Frank Shorter wore similar shoes in Munich for both the 10000 and Marathon.
You can do it if your legs can handle that sort of minimalism.
Great thanks!!! Looks like I'll be running in flats
