The 5K Foam Fest in Sydney, December 5, 2026
The event is an obstacle-course fun run held at Saxony Rd, Horsley Park NSW 2175, Australia on December 5, 2026. The course measures 5K and features over 25 optional obstacles, including an inflatable waterslide, mud pits and large volumes of foam. The organiser lists 2.5 million cubic feet of foam on course and describes a festival area with music, food vendors and a beer garden.
The event offers a FREE kids zone for children aged 6 and under with a mini inflatable obstacle and bounce house; those children must be supervised by an adult. Children aged 7 to 12 must run with a registered adult and organisers advise parents to consider each child’s ability, size and confidence when choosing obstacles. Participants aged 13 to 17 may attend without an adult but must follow course rules. All participants must approve and sign an event waiver; the organiser warns of the inherent risks of physical activity.
Ticket types shown include single entries, family passes and reduced rates for military and first responders with proof of service. Included with entry are a string bag, buff, finisher medal, Foam Fest tattoo, water stations, shower station, change room access, festival area and a low resolution finish photo. Spectators have free access to the festival area, vendors and beer garden. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
