• What is the Bubble RUN™?

  Participants run, walk, dance and play across 3 miles rad real estate. Foam Bogs of colored suds are encountered along the course, bringing back memories of car washes and bathtub bubble beards. Other than the fact that they’re serious about having fun, runners in the BUBBLE RUN™ range from first timers (plenty) to seasoned competitors. But there’s no race clock, no timing chips, no ESPN coverage. Take your time and don’t worry about setting a PR. But if you must, time your run with your own device. It’s cool.

• If my child is under 4, do they still need to be registered?

  Great question! Little bubblers 4 and under are free and do not need to be registered. Please keep in mind that since your child is not a paid registrant, they will not receive a race packet.

• What about jogging strollers and wagons?

  Bring ‘em on! Just no bicycles, scooters, or anything like that. The foam is completely safe for the little guys too! Please note that the colored foam may stain the material on the stroller. Also, DO NOT stop or let go of the handle of the wagon or stroller while in the bogs. Stopping or sitting in the bogs can create a dangerous situation to your little peeps and anyone else that may not see them in the bubbles.

• What else should I bring?

  In addition to a fun attitude, big smile and high fives, we suggest bringing sunglasses (or you can purchase some at the Bubble Run™ Store) a towel, and perhaps a change of shoes. Typically you won’t get too wet, but the longer you play in the bubbles, the more wet you’ll get. If you’re bringing kids with you, consider bringing some little swim goggles for them since the bubbles will probably be taller than they are. As well as a bandana so your little bubble bandit doesn’t taste soap all morning. Also consider purchasing one of our super neat Bubble RUN™ drawstring backpacks to tote your items in style! As we will not have storage facilities on site, please plan to bring only what you can carry with you onto the course.

• Can I run with my dog?

  We love dogs, but the Bubble RUN™ is canine free. Sorry

• What is your refund policy?

  We are a no refunds event! Therefore, please triple-check your calendar prior to signing up!

  If you absolutely cannot attend anymore, you can transfer your entry to a friend or to a different location we host in the same calendar year anytime prior to 48 hours before a race (see our FAQ on how to transfer to another person/location). If neither option works for you, at least come to Packet Pickup to snatch your swag and say hello. We’d love to meet you!

  Adverse weather: As stated in the waiver there are no refunds due to adverse weather. In the event that weather or other unforeseeable conditions are deemed by the event organizers and/or City Officials to be potentially hazardous to participants, bubbleteers and staff, the organizers reserve the right to postpone the start time or cancel the event outright. Cancellation of the event may take place either prior to the start of the event or at any time while the event is taking place.

  There will be no refunds or deferrals for weather cancellation.

  Dates and Locations are subject to change at any time.

• Where does all the foam go after the event?

  GREAT question.

  At each Bubble Run we hire a third party water reclamation company that not only pressure washes the surfaces, but also has an extraction process. All the water/foam is then vacuumed up and transported to their treatment areas and reclaimed.
