The 5K Foam Fest: Melbourne 2026

The 5K Foam Fest Melbourne is a 5 km obstacle run held at Caribbean Park on Ferntree Gully Road in Scoresby, near Melbourne. It takes place in late spring and is suitable for families, first-time runners, groups of friends, and anyone seeking a fun, messy event rather than a competitive race. The course features over 25 obstacles, including a large inflatable waterslide, slip and slides, mud pits, rope climbs, tire hops, cargo climbs, and foam zones, culminating in a foamy finish. The event generates 2.5 million cubic feet of foam. The festival area includes a free kids zone, a live DJ, food vendors, and a licensed beer garden.
