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)!

I had such great time at the Foam Fest last year! It was my first time participating and I can't wait to do it again!!
Fun
A lot of fun for the whole family
Everything about this course was awesome for us. It was our first family event and all of us had an amazing time! We are not super active fit people, and with kids 12 & 13, it wasn’t too difficult at all. Suitable if you want to try a mud run and are inexperienced and are moderately active. Will be going again! Highly recommended :)
So much fun! Great people and entertaining obstacles. Just wish the music was more throughout the course!
Amazing & fun .. can't wait for 2018...
A fun time for all ages and fitness levels. We vompleted it witj a large group of friends who were all diff ages and fitness levels.
Ottawa Foam Run is an amazing day for the whole family!!!
I’m not the best of runners but this event was such great fun.
It was challenging, it was muddy, it was wet, full of adrenaline and I
Will remember this day forever. The company organizing this 5k did
An amazing job. Compared to other runs I did this summer this one
Exceeded my expectations. They were organized, the obstacles
were well prepared and the atmosphere was very festive. Looking forward to next years!!!!!
Best 5k ever
I did this 5k with my daughters as a birthday gift to one of them, best birthday celebration ever!! It was our first ever 5k, and I am thrilled to be back as a yearly tradition!!
This was our first event and we had a great time. We will be back next year!
From wary to HILARITY! : )
I am not an athlete, do not like dirt or crowds, and only signed up to support a friend who had this event on her bucket list. It was SO much fun! I did every obstacle and completed the course with no trouble and an adrenalized perma-grin : ) (I was stiff the next day, but it was worth it ; ) )
Can't wait to do it all again in 2018 with my hubby & kids!
