What a Day at The Inflatable Run & Festival Looks Like
When you arrive at The Inflatable Run & Festival, you won’t have to wait in the registration line because your items were sent directly to your door. So you stroll through the entry gate; you look around at all the inflatable attractions, and decide to start with your first 1-mile lap on the inflatable obstacle course. You head to the start line, and after a massive countdown, begin your run with your entire family. You make sure to high-five the MC as you leave the starting gate. You navigate each inflatable obstacle station like a champ, and your favorite is the slide at the end! Once you finish your lap, you decide to o enjoy some of the festival before you do your next lap. Although your kids are ready to do the next lap already, you’re not quite ready, so you check the schedule on the Facebook Event page and see that it’s almost time for the EPIC Water Battle. You rush to the battle area and enter it, not really knowing what to expect. What is a water battle?…
Venue: OC Fair & Event Center
Address: 88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626

Instead of a typical 5K course, our course is only 1 mile long and each runner will be able to do three laps around the inflatable obstacle course (3 laps = 5K). There are three obstacle stations, each with three kid-friendly obstacles to choose from. The 5k takes place on paved roads. The course is not on dirt or grass due to the large number of strollers, which can not navigate on grass/dirt. You can choose a different obstacle each lap, or stick with your favorites! Please note that these are kid-friendly obstacles, to accommodate kids of all ages, so they are no larger than 13 feet high. There are also two water stations, so you are never more than half a mile from water.
Yes! We pride ourselves in being a family-friendly event, and this includes the obstacle course! Most inflatable runs only allow children 8+ to attend due to the difficulty of their obstacles, but our obstacles are fun AND kid-friendly, so bring the whole family. (including grandma!)
Unlike other runs, we will not be hosting a packet pickup the day before the run. We will also not be charging you an event day fee to pick it up on event day. Instead, you will have your items mailed directly to your door the week before the event. This cost is included in the ticket fee when you purchase tickets. No more lines or driving long distances on Friday to pick up your items! However, If you purchase tickets the week before the event after everything has been mailed out, you will then need to pickup your items at the registration tent on event day.
Our event was created for any age and fitness level, which means you do not have to be the fastest or strongest to complete the course and inflatable obstacles. The best part is that it’s easy to forget you’re exercising with over 28,000 pounds of inflatables to keep you moving and having fun! Whether you’re a toddler, child, preteen, or adult, there are variety of fun inflatable attractions just for you! And we are the only obstacle race without any age, height or weight restrictions. Plus, if you Don’t feel like doing the full 5K, but your kids do? No problem! You can choose to only do 1 lap , and send them thru all 3 times guaranteeing to wear them out! 😉
As parents and kids race through the inflatable obstacle course, dance to live music, or indulge in a tasty treat, you can feel even better knowing profits from the run will be donated to charity helping at-risk youth learn life lessons thru the discovery of hobbies and passions.
