Going GREEN!
The 5k Foam Fest is implementing some changes to our event to reduce the waste we generate as we work towards a more environmentally friendly experience.
Parking is $20 per vehicle (we recommend carpooling)! Parking is cash only and given to directly to the parking attendant upon arrival.
Most water based obstacles are only a few feet deep! If you feel you shouldn’t do an obstacle for any reason our staff will help you around it. All obstacles are optional!
The 5K Foam Fest is a one of kind Obstacle Course based Fun run. With a variety of obstacles and a ton of foam the run is an exciting challenge for experienced and beginner runners alike. The 5K Foam Fest is not a hardcore run it is a FUNCORE run. Walk it, Charge it, Run it, Fun it! A festival atmosphere offering activities for all ages.
Kids 7 and up who are registering to run the course are charged the same price and receive the same full experience of the 5K Foam Fest that adults do. We do offer a family pass pricing, visit the registration page for your location for more info!
We offer a family pass rate, you can check it out on the registration page for your event location (2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 18, minimum purchase of 4 tickets required). The family pass price jumps as more tickets are sold – so the earlier you register the more you save! The family pass options are available as a ticket option when registering, no promo code is required.
Yes, we are proud to support the work of Make-A-Wish granting wishes to children and teens fighting critical illnesses. You can support them too by making a donation or creating a fundraising page by logging into your Race Roster ticketing account.
Our number one priority is the customer experience! We really emphasize a friendly fun-filled day that caters to each and every one of our participants!! Our pricing is affordable so that either an individual, family or group you can come out and enjoy a full day of fun with custom features, a fun atmosphere and memories to last a lifetime!
Can’t swim? A little nervous about being able to complete an obstacle? No problem! Staff and volunteers are placed throughout the course. They are ready to leap into action and help you through an obstacle. Or, if you feel you shouldn’t do an obstacle for any reason our staff will help you around it. All obstacles are optional.
All children must be physically, mentally, and emotionally capable to complete the course with proper course etiquette.
- 6 years and under cannot run the 5k Foam Fest, but they can join us for FREE in our Kids FUN Zone, where they can try out our mini Inflatable Obstacle Course and Bounce House (adult supervision required). Waiver(s) must be signed by the child’s legal guardian on site at the event.
- 7 to 12 years must run with a Registered Adult. Parents must use proper judgement and help the youngsters decide on what obstacles to do or not based on their ability, size and confidence level. Event waiver(s) must be signed by the child’s legal guardian when registering.
- 13+ years do not require an adult chaperone, but must adhere to all course rules and regulations. Event waiver(s) must be signed by the child’s legal guardian when registering.
We encourage people to get crazy and creative and come in just about anything. All we ask is no cleats or sharp objects since a good portion of our course is inflatables, of course, and we wouldn’t want one to go POP!
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.
Smile! Photos from the event will be edited and uploaded as soon as possible. Photos will be sorted and available for download within 1 week of the event. Please remember to take a photo of yourself from the day (ideally wearing the same clothes as you do for the run) as you will search for your photos by facial recognition.
Once waves are filled we can no longer accept registrations. If there are still openings you are welcome to register the day of but remember it is not guaranteed that there will be open wave times. Day of registration will cost $100.00. We suggest registering early, the sooner you sign up the more money you save on registration!

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.
