This seems like a really cool thing, even though I don’t enjoy running at all, but running in foam sounds pretty cool.

It takes place at the Claireville Conservation Area in Brampton and will feature a 5-km obstacle course that will consist of 22 stations, the world’s largest inflatable waterslide, and over 2 million cubic feet of foam!
