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)!

5K foam fest Nanaimo 2017
This is going to by my first foam fest run, but from what I've see on line I know we're all going to have a fabulous time. This is from the new team to nanaimo. "Granny's Turtle Troop" I can only give it a 3 star rating for now, but I'm sure it'll go up after the run is completed
Awesome fun
This was an amazing experience and test of endurance. We had an awesome fun time with all the obstacles. I highly recommend that everyone should participate atleast once byt i know i am hooked and can't wait for the next one!
We had never participated before and thought it would be a fun family event. Before we even finished our kids were already asking to sign up for next year. The foam obstacles were the best (got a little bogged down sometimes at the spider web string obstacles). Our team consisted of several families and everyone had giant smiles on their faces. We'll be back next year.
So much fun
I've been to the Colour Run and the 5K Foam Fest and the Foam Fest was soooooo much fun that it is something I would certainly do again! The obstacles and extensive foam was amazing. We had a perfect day for it as well. Boler made it fun with the terrain and I had a blast! Hope to do it again next summer!!!!
Can't wait for next year
The race was amazing fun for all ages and abilities.
Amazing experience
My friend and I have gone 2 years in a row and every year we have the time of our lives! We were left with a couple scratches from the material they used for the bouncy castles and that but overall my friend and I still had a blast :) we plan on returning next time and hopefully every year after that!
Had a great time and can't wait to do it again!!
Fantastic Foam Fest Sun Peaks
After a year marked by a lot of personal loss and some big obstacles, you can't know what it meant to be on a great team, running through the mountains and the mud at Sun Peaks with your team cheering us on. When I crossed the finish line and got handed my towel and my medal, it was amazing to feel like I'd really accomplished something positive. It allowed me to challenge myself in a safe yet competitive environment. After last year, I never thought I'd laugh again. Thanks for proving me wrong!!
