Has anyone done both races? Which race did you like more?

Subject: RE: Burning River vs. Run Woodstock 100 milers

My friend did both last year.   She's not going back to Burning River this year but is going back to Woodstock, if that tells you anything.  I paced her at Burning River and the course was not well marked.  Several times we came upon folks who'd taken a wrong turn and were frustrated.  I remember the last aid station (when you needed that final kick to the end) was pretty dismal and had run out of fruit and coke for the BOPers.  With it being point to point the logistics were more difficult than the looped course of Woodstock.   Burning River is a very scenic course, though, so there's that.    I can't speak to the negatives or positives of Woodstock because I wasn't there with her but she spoke of the very fun atmosphere that surrounds that event. 

You can always do them both and make up your own mind!

I hope you do Woodstock. I was hoping to make this my first 100 and would like to hear more about it.
Was thinking about doing the 50 to see how it is. I like the idea of the loops so I don't have to worry about drop bags.
Sounds like a fun time.

Yeah, that is what I am learning towards but for next year, not this year. Is that Lambeau in the back? If so, NICE!

Yep!

I don't think the 50 will work for me this year either.

I am planning on doing Woodstock this year the 100 miler so I can give an opinion on it later. I maybe pacing a friend for the last 30 miles of Burning River as well this year so I could report on that portion of the race later. Not 100% sure on either one but most likely both will happen.
