Course Description

The 5K Foam Fest course winds through a mixed surface at the State Equestrian Centre, combining paved sections, grassy fields and foam‑slick zones. Runners tackle 25 inventive obstacles – from a Foamy Start and Hurdles to the massive DD Mega Slide, the new Wipeout Wonderland and a final Foamy Finish – all drenched in 2.5 million cubic feet of foam. Hydration stations and portable toilets dot the route, while the foam machines keep the course consistently foamy from the 8 am first wave until the last. Whether you jog, walk or sprint, the course promises a playful, mud‑splattered adventure for all fitness levels.
