About the race
The 5K Foam Fest - East Melbourne 2026 is billed as The World’s #1 Fun Run. It’s a 5-kilometre obstacle-course style run held in East Melbourne, Victoria. The course features more than 25 obstacles, including the world’s largest inflatable waterslide and mud pits, with about 2.5 million cubic feet of foam creating a frothy play zone.
The event blends sport with a festival atmosphere: live music, a free Kids Zone for younger children, food vendors, and a beer garden. The course is designed for all abilities, with all obstacles optional; participants must be at least 7 years old. Spectators have free access to the festival area.
