The 5K Foam Fest — Wasaga Beach takes place Saturday, July 18, 2026 in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. Organized by the Electrolit 5K Foam Fest team with Electrolit as title partner, this single-day festival-style fun run brings foam, inflatables and obstacles to Wasaga Beach Provincial Park (Beach Area 2).
The event is built around an approximate 5K route for ages 7 and up that threads more than 25 inflatable obstacles — everything from foamy start and finish zones to massive slides, slip n’ slides and mud features. The weekend format for Wasaga is a one-day experience with family programming on site, including a Kids Free Fun Zone and on-course entertainment provided by a live DJ.
What sets Wasaga apart is the spectacle: organizers pump roughly 2.5 million cubic feet of foam into dedicated foam zones and stage large-scale inflatables such as the world’s largest waterslide, Corkscrew and Wipeout Wonderland alongside mud crawls and cargo climbs. Entry includes a string bag, a branded 5K foam buff, a finishers medal that converts into a magnet and lanyard, temporary tattoos and unlimited low-resolution photos. The festival also supports Make‑A‑Wish Canada and highlights community and corporate team-builder options.
Registration is open now; current early pricing is listed at $64.99 (full price shown at $139.99) plus local taxes and fees. Spectators enter free and limited tickets are typically available at the gate, so registering early is recommended to secure preferred start waves and perks.
