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)!

Amazing!
This event was so fun! It was definitely out of my comfort zone and ended up being one of the best things I did all summer! Can't wait to do another!!
Nanaimo Foam Fest 2016
Awesome first year..But for a few things that can be improved upon, great time. Staggering start times is a must but still had long wait times at obstacles resulting in 2 + hour runs...not bad if it wasn't cold and raining in early spring. Less volume on the mike and more food vendors will make the next one fantastic!!
Attended with my family for the 2nd year! Amazing fun. We enjoyed it so much after the first year, that we brought 34 friends along the 2nd year! Everyone had a great time . . . and the kids LOVED seeing the parents go through all of the obstacles. We will definitely be going again next year.

Very well organized event, wonderful volunteers, the most fun I've had at a 5K event. Everything went smooth, challenging too.
Foamfest fun!
Our 2nd Foamfest as a team. It's great the kids can participate...it is challenging for every age and ability but in a fun way. Who can resist bubbles and bouncy castles!

Fun fun fun
It was a really fun experience with my friends.
I went to the foam fest for the first time last year. I got a group of friends together we made a road trip to the foam fest. We had so much fun,it was well worth it! We decided as soon as we had finished the run that we would all come back next year and do it again!
