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)!

sooo fun! great for the whole family and if you're not athletic it's still fun haha, all the people running the event were very nice and it was a fun, muddy, foamy run I will definitely be doing next year with my friends again!! :)
We had the greatest time. We did the course as a family, there were 11 of us. 3 generations. We had so many laughs, you didn't even notice that we were exercising. We are booked in for 2016. Getting muddy, laughing and having fun. We couldn't ask for any more than that. Loved it!!!!
Awesome family friendly event. Volunteers were great and the atmosphere was super fun. Participated in 2014, and 2015 with my boys and now they're already talking about doing it again in 2016. Can't wait!!
First time completing the run and I'll be back next year for sure! It was a blast
5K Foam Fest Ottawa-Gatineau
It was a great time albeit harder than I expected... overall was a memorable experience.
It was a great time tons of fun even with the extreme heat that day. Only bad thing was the wait for some obstacles but it was still well worth the wait. Can't wait to do it again next year with friends.
Running isn't my forte, especially up a mountain in the heat, but it was a great time as always! Loved the obstacles and the fun environment. A bit of a wait at some obstacles, but it let me catch my breath. Can't wait to Threepeat next summer!
What a fun way to exercise with friends and family.
Had a blast this year!! Can't wait to do it again!!
We had a blast this year!! Can't wait for next year!!
