The 5K Foam Fest - Ottawa
The event is an obstacle-course fun run held at Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean, Ontario on August 22, 2026. The course distance is 5K and features more than 25 obstacles, including an inflatable waterslide, mud pits and approximately 2.5 million cubic feet of foam. The festival area includes music, food vendors, a beer garden, a free kids zone for children aged 6 and under, and vendor shopping.
Age and supervision rules are stated: participants must be at least 7 years old to run the course; children aged 7 to 12 must run with a registered adult; participants aged 13 to 17 do not require an adult chaperone but must follow course rules. Children 6 years and under may use the free kids zone but are not permitted on the 5K course. Event waivers are required for minors and the organizer notes that the obstacle course involves physical risks; registrants are asked to read the waiver carefully.
Registration options include single entries, a family pass with a reduced per-person price based on a minimum of four, and a reduced rate for military and first responders with proof of service. The event page states there are no refunds but transfer options are available. Corporate and group discounts are offered for groups of ten or more. The event also lists a fundraising association with Make-A-Wish Canada and describes a promoter referral program that pays referral fees.
