Get ready for some splashtastic fun! The super exciting 5K Foam Fest is back at Oakbank Racecourse on 25 January 2025, with a whopping 25 fun-filled obstacles!

How does sliding into the new year on giant inflatable waterslides and into muddy pits?

The epic water challenge, 5K Foam Fest, is back at Oakbank Racecourse on 25 January 2025, bringing 2.5 million cubic feet of foam – that’s A LOT of bubbles! New this year is the all-new twisty-twirly Corkscrew obstacle!

With 40,000 participants across Australia expected over the summer, it’s going to be the biggest, most bubbly fun run in the country. And to celebrate its 10-year anniversary, Foam Fest is giving away cool UV sunglasses in the participant packs.

And don’t forget the little ones! Kids under seven can enjoy their own special FUN Zone, with a bouncy castle and mini slide – the perfect way to join in the fun!

The best part? This isn’t a race to the finish line. Whether you’re running, jogging, or strolling, the 5K Foam Fest is all about having fun! It’s perfect for families, friends, and groups of all ages and abilities. Everyone is welcome – so even if you’re not the fastest, you can still join in the fun.

The 5K Foam Fest is also raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help grant wishes for sick kids. Over the past 15 years, Foam Fest has raised more than $5,000,000 for charities. This year, they’re hoping to raise $125,000 for the foundation.
