flats for running

I'm a big runner and I was wondering if I should get flats for my races...I hear they make a big difference. Is it worth getting them?

What type of races? Be specific. Are we talking cross country? Track? Marathon or races on roads?

what the hell? is this thread all about 😐

Track. I run the 45 dash.

That is a DEFINITE sprint so you DEFINITELY want spikes. Do not get flats for that. Trust me.
