I'm going to be doing a trail race in October, and will be training on trails some. I will also be doing some road running.

Are trail running shoes acceptable for road running too, so I only have to buy one pair?

    I love my trail shoes and wear them everywhere :) You'll wear down the treads faster running on the road.

    From what I hear, I with either destroy or lose then in the mud pit at warrior dash in October anyway!

    I'll probably get a cheap pair now, given said destruction in October.

    Trail shoes are generally more stiff than regular running shoes, so you may not like the way they feel for running on the road. It depends how much cushioning you prefer. I'd recommend finding a brand/style you like and checking out Ebay for a good deal. Have fun!
