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)!

A rainy day at the beach.
Foam Fest Wasaga Beach 2016 was a washout. Could not have asked for a worse day. Mother nature was in a bad mood this year at Wasaga. It poured most of the day along with periodic thunder. Some of the course challenges had to be shut down due to the possibility of lightning strikes. This was very disappointing. I realize that the weather is beyond anyone's control however it did take away from the overall experience. Other than the miserable weather conditions everything was great.
No Regrets
I'm so glad my friend convinced me to do this. It was so well organized and just fun all around. Can't wait for next year.
FoamTastic!
My best friend and I had a blast! Loved every moment! Well organized! Can't wait to do it again in 2017!!
Wasaga 2016
We did the event as a group of 9 and it was so much fun! The atmosphere was awesome, the course was fantastic (and hard!), and hilarity ensued. We are already planning on going back for 2017 :)
So much fun
This was the first year I did a 5kfun run. And I was so excited. I was so much fun! I'm totally doing it again next year! There was such a good energy from everyone at the foam fest! Good vendors afterwards! Can't wait til 2017!!!
Family Foamy Fun!
My 2nd Foam Fest, my sons 1st! Loved that I was able to do this with my son (who was 9) We found the hills challenging and the obstacles fun! Lots of laughs and perfect for a go-at-your-own-pace race :) only bummer - lost my bib on superman slide - which meant pins in the water too - I wonder if a sticker bib would be feasible? The towels and finished medals were awesome and LOVE the swag available for purchase!!!! super organized event!!!!!
This was my first ever run and I have to say I had a blast. Would I go again? Absolutely!!!!! Best time ever

My sister and me joined the party and had an amazing night time! We only wished there was some more foam. Her fav part was jumping off the tall tower! Mine was the huge slide :)

Great experience!!
This was my first obstacle race and I couldn't have chosen an better one! Local and so much fun!! This was completely out of my comfort zone! The people running the obstacles were super encouraging and provided a great attitude/atmosphere for any skill level! Will definitely be attending 2017 event! Can't wait!
