The 5K Foam Fest is a unique, family-friendly obstacle course event that brings together the excitement of a fun run with the thrill of over 25 creative obstacles and an abundance of foam. Designed for participants of all ages and fitness levels, the event emphasizes enjoyment and camaraderie over competition. Whether you choose to walk, jog, or run, every obstacle is optional, making it accessible for everyone.

Held in Victoria Park, Kitchener, the event transforms the park into a vibrant festival atmosphere. Participants can expect to navigate through foam-filled zones, inflatable slides, mud pits, and slip-and-slides, all while being cheered on by a lively crowd. Beyond the course, the festival area features a live DJ, food vendors, a beer garden, and a free kids' fun zone, making it a full day of entertainment for families and friends. The event also supports Make-A-Wish Canada, adding a charitable aspect to the fun.
