Get ready to get FILTHY clean with 5k Foam Fest!
What in the world could possibly be more fun than running through a course chuck full of mud, foam, and obstacles? Running through it with your friends, of course! Check out our video to see how much fun you can have together! Well, you’ll need bodies. So grab your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family members and get them registered! Your team can be as big as you want. And remember, the only way to make sure you all get to run in the same wave is to register early and together, so don’t wait! Otherwise we can’t guarantee that you’ll be flying around in foam with your friends.
If you are looking to beat a world record or run so hard that you nearly lose bowel control then you might be disappointed. The 5K Foam Fest is not a hardcore race it is a FUNCORE race. The goal is to have fun while running. We will have a race clock at the end of the race so you can internally take note how fast you ran the race but you will not be given timing chips and we encourage you to focus on the fun aspect of the race rather than the speed.
It is a festival after all!! So be sure to come early and bring your friends and family. We’ve got several activities including our foam pit, mini inflatable obstacle course, and bounce house. We even have activities for the kids at heart! Like our Skyfall (A 25’ drop onto a airbag/stunt bag)!

5k foam fest was fantastic
Well organized, good amount of mud and foam, obstacles were fun and achievable by those less fit. Lineup for some obstacles were a little long and slow but somewhat understandable. Could have had more music. Definitely want to go again next year!
Fun
The obstacles were fun the only thing I would like to see improve is the wait time. Possibly leave more time between the waves. Some areas through the trees not well marked.
Our team had a blast. We look forward to next year as our daughter will be old enough to join us. Only thing I would like to see solved is the line ups at certain obstacles. And I would recommend netting over the mud crawls so people actually get under it and into the mud.
Had a blast!! I did this run with my sister and 10 year old nephew and he wanted to do the course again wh we were done lol would live to do it again next year:)
I couldn't have asked for a better day. It blew me away and exceeded my expectations. Doing the run with many family members was amazing. It wasn't intimidating for an amateur like me, but I also found my self being pushed out of my comfort zone a couple times which ends up being the best part of it all. There was one section that we skipped due to a long line, maybe there was too many people for the size of a couple certain sections of the race. Other then the small amount of waiting my time at the foam fest was an amazing experience that I'm so excited to do again next year with my friends.

We had an awesome time! Went with a group of friends, had a blast would love to do it again next year.
Nanaimo Foam Fest
My family and I had an amazing time. I would love to see the stagger start times either further apart or maybe less in each start as many obstacles had very long wait times. Would love to see more staff helpers at each station as well to help move the process along. Would be neat to know how far you have come at different points of the race as well either a marker or map. We hope to have a bigger team for next years event!
So much fun!
This was my second mud run ever and I had no expectations going in. I am so pleased to say that it was an incredible event, well organized, friendly volunteers and staff, and I can't wait for next year!! The obstacles were fun and even challenging which made it even better! I've already created a team for 2017 and am recruiting as I type! Yay!!!!
Amazing!!!
I go to plenty of events, and this is by far the BEST event I've been to. More obstacles then any other event, the obstacles were challenging & so much fun. Well put together. My only complaint is that there weren't enough people taking pictures. My suggestion is to have one photographer at each one of the bigger obstacles like the biggest slide etc. Cannot wait for next year!!!!
So fun!
This event was very well organized and so fun
It was a.good intro to obstacle races. My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
