The 5K Foam Fest obstacle races, mud run, and OCR information, distance, cost, dates, calendar, discounts, obstacles, reviews, and more
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)!

Wonderful time!
I had a fantastic time with my friends! It was exciting, full of adventure and there was plenty of mud and foam to go around. I would say that the line for the tires (at the lake) was extremely long so standing still for over 40 min. in the cold while wet was not the best. I was also disappointed that when pictures were posted for the event, there was not a single photo of myself or the friends I ran with showing by last name or bib number. Given the cost of the event, I would have appreciated better photographers and photo coverage, as I noticed that in the pictures, there were individual people with many, many pictures just of themselves. It would have been nice for them to be spread around so everyone could have some. Otherwise, it was a great event and we had a lovely time.
Nanaimo Foam Fest
Wait was way too long at lily pad and tube cross. The foam slides were not steep enough too much stalling in the middle Other that that well laid out and lots of fun
This was my first time participating in an event like this...it was SO MUCH FUN! Great for all levels of fitness and super positive atmosphere! Will definitely be signing up for next year's event and bringing kids! Thanks for an awesome day of dirty fun!
It would be nice to have more variety in the number of obstacles and somehow get the lineup for the lily pads to have not as long of a wait. Other than that, it was a lot of fun and my team and I will definitely be back next year! Glad you're coming back to the island for 2017!!
great fun time
My husband and I had an amazing time. It was soooo much fun.
The weather didnt cooperate so made for a cold run but it didnt put
A freeze on the fun. Looking sobforward to next year
Anyone Can Do It
So much fun!
A most awesome way to conquer a few of your fears, bond with others and show yourself just how strong you can be.
And ANYONE can do this!
What an Awesome Event!
What a blast for the whole family! We had such a great time challenging ourselves all while having fun! Can't wait to do it again next year!
Thanks FoamFest!
