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)!

This is the first 5k I had run. Now we do it every year. It is so much fun
This is the best 5k. This was the first 5k I ever done. Now we do it every year
Amacing
Having participated in many mud runs I was amazed at this race! So much fun. So gentle on the body (being over 50 this matters) The people we met and the fun we had is incomparable to any other race! The course was user friendly and people were so helpful and non-competitive So refreshing Your run is now my ultimate favourite

Great way to spend Canada 150! What a well organized event!
That was my first time doing a running event and i loved it. I liked how every part of the run, people encouraged you to finish the track. I liked how there was various obstacles we had to go through. Overall I had the best experienc!!

This is the first 5K I had ever done & it was SO much fun!! My son has had epilepsy since he was 18 months and now at 11 being over a YEAR seizure free we decided to find something we both love and do it together running this 5k is something we plan to do for years to come!! Thank you for such a fun and family friendly event! ❤️
Great Family Fun
Foam Fest is a great event that is family friendly. Participated in Abbotsford's first event this year and will be back in 2018 with the kids joining us! Need warmer weather though!
Great Run for Everyone
Was such a great event. It was my first run of this type and was more than I had ever imagined. Looking forward to running in the 2018 one.
