The 5K Foam Fest

The World's #1 Fun Run!

About Foam Fest

Join us for an adventure featuring 25 obstacles, including the world’s largest inflatable waterslide, mud pits, and an astonishing 2.5 million cubic feet of foam! Enjoy fantastic music throughout the day, let your little ones play in our FREE kids zone for ages 6 and under, savor delicious food, shop from local vendors, and celebrate your achievements in our well-stocked beer garden.

Whether you’re an experienced runner or just starting out, the 5K Foam Fest offers an exciting challenge for everyone. Tackle it at your own pace—walk, run, or charge through! All obstacles are optional, so come and have fun while proudly supporting Make-A-Wish.
