Foam Fest 2024/25

The World's #1 Fun Run for ages 7 and up! Family-friendly! 2.5 million cubic feet of foam!

About Foam Fest

If you are looking to beat a world record then you might be disappointed. The 5K Foam Fest is not a hardcore race; it’s a FUNCORE race. The goal is to have fun while running!


The 5k Foam Fest is not just an Obstacle Course run, we also have a Festival Area filled with vendors and fun activities for participants, spectators, and their children. The Bouncy Castle and Mini Inflatable Obstacle Course will keep the kids busy while the Sky Fall caters to the “big kids” at heart. Children ages 7 and under have free all-day access to the festival area once their parents/guardians complete and sign the waiver.

This year marks 10 years of Foam Fest!
