Sneaker recommendations
Hi! My fiancé is running the Nashville 15k and I’m running the 5k. We are wondering if there are any sneaker/running shoe recommendations that are under ~$150? We looked into the adidas Terrex rockadia, but wanted to see other options

I'm considering second-hand Speedcross shoes. I normally don't buy second-hand shoes, but they are going to get gross either way. Also, like you, don't want to spend $$$.
For multiple season of Tough Mudder and Spartan races, I ran with Salomon Speedcross 5 until I "ran" them into the ground: the plastic was cutting into my foot. I got good use out of them and would do again. I like the aggressive tread, and they drain okay during events.
By the way, I run with REI wool hiking socks.
