Participants cover a course of approximately 3 miles (5 km) while moving through various interactive stations. The event is open to adults and children, and the use of strollers is permitted on the course.

Course Experience

Throughout the route, participants encounter multiple foam bogs. Each bog features a different color of foam designed to coat participants from head to toe.
