So BC suggests race day use. How long will they hold up under super intense trail work? ie steep, rocky hill repeats, streams/rivers, trails that might not be actual trails?

I second the above answer. These shoes hold out for a LONG time. I even put in a 4 weeks of 50+ miles a week on road. I was surprised on how well they held up, and how my body help up by not using "road shoes" I use them in every condition, for any distance. hands down the best trail shoe in my opinion. I love the low profile, and the impact brake system does actually work (surprise considering all the fake marketing names these days). Check out the skylites for a less aggressive sole option.

Hey Mark, I bought a pair of these last spring and wore them all summer on really rough trail, they held up quite well. I'm right in the Canadian Rockies, spent a lot of my summer running mountains that would normally be classified as scrambles, with lots of shale/scree, low angle climbing and easy 5th class, and sometimes quite a few miles to get to and from the scrambles, including stream crossings and lots of bushwacking. I have other pairs of shoes, but found that I always went for my crosslites every time I went for a technical run. They are super grippy, low profile and FAST. They held up better than I expected, considering all the scrambling, half a dozen 12+ hour days, and about 600 miles of rough trail. They still have a bit of life left in them, but I'm definitely ordering a new pair for next spring.
