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.
Winston-Salem Transit Authority (WSTA) routes 83/84/85 along Silas Creek Pkwy (Parkway Plaza Shopping Center stop) — roughly 1–1.5 mi from the venue; no WSTA route runs directly to Meadowlark Dr or the park entrance
Venue: Jamison Park, 285 Meadowlark Dr, Winston-Salem, NC 27106, a residential-area city park on the Muddy Creek Greenway. Nearest bus service requires an additional walk/rideshare from Silas Creek Pkwy; car or rideshare is the practical option.
Same as start — all distances (5K–marathon) are loop repeats finishing at Jamison Park
Same as start.
No organizer shuttle identified.
Winston-Salem's local bus system (WSTA) is paid with cash or a magnetic-stripe day pass rather than a modern tap card, and there is no contactless bank-card acceptance yet; single rides run about 1.50 USD. Most visitors coming for this race will still find a car or rideshare far more practical than the limited bus routes to reach the venue.
