Pick up your bib, check your wave.
So on race morning, you can just run.
Like finisher medal Madness, this is a recurring series in the Haunted Series.
Following the series’ usual practice, bib is distributed on-site from 30 minutes to 10 minutes before the start, and there is no race-day registration.
None confirmed
Start is at the Appomattox River Greenway, Roslyn Landing Access, Colonial Heights, VA 23834. Same PAT service area as the Medal Madness race at this venue; no confirmed stop at Roslyn Landing specifically. This is a small, locally-organized event; the race page notes EMS is not stationed on site and water stations are limited, underscoring it's a minimal-infrastructure venue best reached by car.
No dedicated transit card system with practical relevance; Colonial Heights, VA (near Richmond) is not served by Richmond's GRTC bus network. This is a car-access venue, cash/card accepted for any parking fees.
Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
In October, Colonial Heights averages 15°C — a good temperature for chasing a time.
Your body temperature drops quickly while waiting at the start, so wear a throwaway outer layer and remove it just before the gun.
Public transit does not reach the venue.
A private car or rental car is the only practical option.
Registration is handled through the RunSignup platform.
In full marathon, the real race begins after 30 km.
It is better to pass halfway 5–10 seconds slower than your target pace to help you maintain your pace later,
and start taking gels early, before you feel hungry.
The start is at 08:00. Registration is open through October 24, 2026.
Times are local to Colonial Heights. Check the latest official information before the race.
