The average person takes about an hour to an hour and a half to complete the course. The run itself is designed to avoid congestion on the course with a heated wave system running every 15 minutes in desirable numbers. This gives each and every participant a chance to experience The 5K Foam Fest at its best possible state!

We cap our registration numbers so that we can really focus on the participant experience. We never want our participants waiting in lines and not getting the full effect that 5K Foam Fest has to offer.

Raise Money For Make-A-Wish Australia

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Along with the national office, eight regional chapters grant magical wishes to children in need from coast-to-coast. Make-A-Wish Australia is an affiliate of Make-A-Wish®️ International, the largest wish-granting organization in the world, making dreams and wishes come true for more than 480,000 children since 1980.

There are several wish-granting organizations in Australia, and we are often asked about what makes us different. People say, "Why should I give to Make-A-Wish Australia instead of a similar organization?" Click here to find out how Make-A-Wish stands out from other wish-granting organizations.

The Impact of a Wish

When children are battling a critical illness, so much of normal childhood is taken away from them — it is exhausting, both emotionally and physically. A Wish is something that gives kids the opportunity to look outside their illness — it restores a sense of childhood back to the child and normalcy back to the family.

You can help seriously ill kids by participating in the 5K Foam Fest and raising funds for Make-A-Wish.

How Do I Get Started?

As soon as you have registered for Foam Fest it is time to start your fundraising team in your raceroster.com ticketing account.

Every dollar counts! Make-A-Wish will receive all money raised through participant fundraising and all revenue generated from the Make-A-Wish gear check on-site.

About Make-A-Wish Australia

Make-A-Wish®️ Australia creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. They work in partnership with sick kids, their families and medical teams to deliver unforgettable wish experiences – like making unicorns fly, sending kids to the moon and even helping Australia’s youngest cricket captain don the baggy green.

Wishes are as unique as the imaginations of the children who make them! When a wish is realised, a child discovers that despite their situation, anything is possible.

As one wish Mum said: "We’re eternally grateful for having his wish granted. It was the turning point during his treatment. Maybe that's a coincidence, but I honestly don’t think so."

You can make more life-changing wishes come true for really sick kids by registering to fundraise for Make-A-Wish at Foam Fest.

How You Can Help

Sign up for 5K Foam Fest today and then create your own individual or team fundraising in your raceroster.com ticketing account. Personalize your page and start fundraising today! All proceeds will support Make-A-Wish. You have the power to make a difference in the lives of local children.

To learn more about Make-A-Wish, please visit makeawish.org.au.
