The event takes place on Saxony Rd in Horsley Park, NSW, Australia, on December 5, 2026. It is an obstacle-course fun run featuring more than 25 obstacles, including an inflatable waterslide described as the world's largest, mud pits, and an area containing about 2.5 million cubic feet of foam. The festival area includes music, food vendors, a beer garden, and a free Kids Fun Zone for children aged 6 and under.
Participants aged 7 and up may take part on the course. Children aged 7 to 12 must run with a registered adult; participants 13 to 17 do not require a chaperone but must follow course rules. All participants or their legal guardians must sign the event waiver. The organiser notes that the course carries risks of injury or death and advises reading the waiver carefully.
