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)!

Amazingly Amazing
I had an amazing day at an amazing location with amazing people. This event combines fun with sport. Foam Fest is amazingly amazing.
Amazing event. My son who was 7 at the time was the youngest participant and he rocked it!! Thanks to all the volunteers and coordinators. Looking forward to next year. Will be participating as a family again.
Super activité accessible à tous. Beaucoup de plaisir, d'eau et de boue au rendez-vous. Excellente façon de passer du bon temps en famille et d'initier nos jeunes à l'activité physique!
Amazing time last year with the 2 of us. Going to bring the kids this year and make it a family tradition!!!
5k foam fest
This was my first time doing this race and it was amazing! There were so many challenges I was shocked I could overcome and do, it proved to myself that I can do anything if I try. It was also a lot of fun and a great way to be active while enjoying and challenging yourself!
Awesome!
This was my first Foam Fest, went with family and some friends and had a blast! It was raining here and it made it more muddier which made it more awesome!
Great bonding experience!
I ran this with my sister and my 9 year old daughter. We had a lot of fun together and made some great memories!
2nd Year Doing Race was Still Tons of Fun
I have done the Foam Fest for the last 2 years it has been in Ottawa and I had a blast at both! The volunteers were amazing and very energetic. The price is very reasonable compared to the Spartan Race Series and way more fun!
We will be back again this year!
Crazy fun
First race for us. I dragged my kids and nephew out with me. We even had a fan club standing out in the rain to cheer us on. We all got right into it by diving in the mud puddle. And that was BEFORE we started the race. One suggestion : HAVE MORE THAN INE RACE PER YEAR IN MONTREAL!!!
So fun!
The foam fest was my first ever 5k, did it with a group, despite the weather, we had a blast! Can't wait to do it again!
