Family day fun with foam at the 5K Foam fest

The much-anticipated 5K Foam Fest fun run is back and kicking off on Saturday, November 30, in Myrniong.

The 5K Foam Fest is set to be bigger and better, with 25 of the most exciting obstacles, including the world’s largest inflatable waterslide, slip-and-slides, mucky mud pits, and the all-new Corkscrew.

The obstacles are combined with 2.5 million cubic feet of foam pumped into the course throughout the event.

Compared to a traditional race-to-the-finish run, couples, groups, team builders and families of all ages can enjoy the ‘fun run’ as it’s suitable for all skill levels – from runner to walker.

The 5K Foam Fest is also a pivotal fundraising event for long-term partner Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Make-A-Wish receives all money raised through participant fundraising.

Over the past 15 years, 5K Foam Fest have raised more than $5 million for charity partners, including $100,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation last year.

The 5K Foam Fest will be held at St. Anne’s, 64 Garrards Lane, Myrniong.
