I'm looking at the Moab Red hot as my first ultra. the date and proximity of the race seem like they'd work out well for me. 

Anyone have any experience with this particular race? Is it a beginner friendly one? I'd most likely be racing it solo, with no crew or pacer. I'm used to running alone though. Terrain and elevation wise, it looks pretty mellow (I train in SW utah on similar ground, I.e., sand, slick rock, mountains) 

 I appreciate any and all advice and wisdom!

Thanks
