The 5K Foam Fest - Ottawa
The 5K Foam Fest at Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean, Ottawa, is an obstacle course style fun run held on August 7, 2027. The course distance is 5K and the event lists more than 25 obstacles, including an inflatable waterslide described as the world's largest, mud pits, and approximately 2.5 million cubic feet of foam. The course obstacles are optional and participants may proceed at their own pace.
The festival area includes music, food vendors, local sellers, a beer garden and a free kids zone for children six years and under. Children aged seven and up may run the course; participants aged seven to twelve must run with a registered adult, while those 13 to 17 do not require an adult chaperone but must follow course rules. Waivers for participants under 18 must be signed by a legal guardian. The event notes that the obstacle course carries risks of injury or death and advises reading the waiver carefully.
Registration terms include no refunds with transfer options available. A listed price for a single entry is CA$58.47; that entry package includes the run, festival wristband, string bag, buff, finisher's medal, Foam Fest tattoo, water stations, shower station, change room access, festival area access, free kids zone and a free finish line photo. Corporate and group rates are available for groups of 10 or more. A promoter program offers CA$5 per referred ticket on new purchases. The event also lists fundraising activity for Make A Wish Canada with CA$109.78 raised. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
