Bubble Run | Memphis

Get ready for an explosion of foamy fun at the Bubble Run | Memphis, taking over Shelby Farms Park on August 8, 2026, for an unforgettable 5K experience! This untimed, non-competitive event is less about setting a personal record and more about soaking in the joyous atmosphere, making it perfect for runners, walkers, dancers, and even those pushing strollers and wheelchairs. Participants are encouraged to wear white to best showcase the vibrant, safe, and non-toxic colored foam that awaits at four distinct "Bubble Bogs" strategically placed along the course.

The 5K course at Shelby Farms Park promises a delightful journey for all ages, with each kilometer bringing a new wave of frothy, scented bubbles up to four feet high. As you navigate through these playful foam zones, a lively soundtrack keeps spirits high, transforming your run into a sensory celebration. Typical race day conditions in Memphis for early August feature highs around 92°F and lows around 74°F, with a 13% chance of precipitation, creating a warm, energetic backdrop for this unique event. Be sure to arrive 30-45 minutes before your wave start to allow ample time for parking and packet pickup.

The fun doesn't stop at the finish line; a vibrant after-party awaits, where the foam cannons go into full blast, offering even more bubbly enjoyment and fantastic photo opportunities. With thousands of smiles guaranteed and a reputation as America's favorite colorful 5K, the Bubble Run | Memphis promises an inclusive, family-friendly adventure. A portion of the proceeds also supports research, funding, and treatment for families battling childhood cancer and terminal illnesses.
