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)!

My husband and I did the run and we had so much fun!
It was a great time, the obstacles were lots of fun and the mud was great.
Best 5k ever!
We had the most amazing time, our 9 year old boys loved that the obstacles were perfectly spaced so as not to feel as if they were running a full 5k.
There was the perfect amount of foam,I'd and obstacles.
We can't wait for the 2017 foam fest and are looking forward to bringing a larger party!

Nanaimo
We accomplished the 5 kn foam fest in nanaimo bc, it was a awesome day, I would recommend foam fest , there were some many super fun obstacles and being able to do it with my children was a adventure I will never forget! I did muderella in whistler also and by far foam fest was 10 times better! I give foam fest 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was so much fun! It was the first obstacle race for my team and we will be back next year. Awesome location!
Fun Fun Foam
Loads of fun foam, rugged terrain, excellent obstacle....it was a blast. Definitely doing it again
A day of absolute joy!
Took my 12 year old daughter and her friend and it was a day of pure joy and absolute fun. Neither of us stopped laughing ftom start to finish. A great day of bonding with my pre-teen gal and her friend. Will definitely go back for more, hoping it will become our annual tradition!
Wasaga Beach Rocks!
My family and I have participated in the last two events in Wasaga Beach. It is so great to have events like this in my home town. I love that you use the wonderful sandy dunes of Wasaga and that there's obstacles in the waters of Georgian Bay. Great fun for all ages and abilities. Thanks!
