If you’ve done a traditional 5K, you know they can be a bit lackluster. But the BUBBLE RUN™ is like running through Willy Wonkas’ factory. Clad in white t-shirts, adults, kids and strollers run, walk, dance and play across up to 3 miles of absolute fun! Waves start every 3-5 minutes. Participants will run through the Foam Bogs where there is enough colored foam to cover you from head to toe!

Bubble-teers will also be there to help make sure you get your share of the frothy goodness. Each one of the Foam Bogs is represented by different colored foam. So what if you should accidentally “taste the whimsey?” They don’t taste as great as they are fun, but not to worry. The foam is 100% safe.

Event details and schedule

Please plan on arriving 30-45 minutes prior to your wave start to give yourself plenty of time to park, get your Bubble RUN™ swag, check in if needed, and to get situated.

Please be prompt for your Heat.

Once your heat has started, (the heat is the time you registered for) small waves will be released every 60-90 seconds. Your physical start time is based on a first come-first serve basis, so naturally you will start earlier if you enter the start chute earlier. The last wave within your heat will go out 30 minutes after your scheduled heat (i.e., if your registered heat is for 8AM, the last wave in your heat will leave at 8:30AM).

Bring some extra cash for parking and SWAG!

After you park, bring some extra cash! You'll want to check out our super sweet Bubble RUN store for t-shirts, tutus, and more!

There may be a parking charge of up to $20 for the event that is handled by the venue. With THOUSANDS of smiles present on race day, please have exact change and please don't cut your time too short before the race starts. Cram as many bubblers (legally) into your car to save some cash money money!

Join the Movement and break some chains. This is more than just a race—it's a chance to make a lasting impact in the fight against human trafficking.

Lace up for something bigger than a finish line.

Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, the EDEN 5K/10K is more than a race—it's a movement. The Run for Freedom helps raise funds and awareness to support anti-trafficking organizations. Your participation fuels change, provides resources, and empowers those on the frontlines to continue to bring hope to survivors.

Scenic Lakeside 5k Course

Our 5K course takes you along a beautiful lakeside road at Bonelli Regional Park, with views of sparkling Puddingstone Lake and rolling hills all around. The route features a mix of flat stretches and a few gentle inclines to keep things fun and challenging.

As you run, you’ll be surrounded by mountain backdrops, lush greenery, and open skies—perfect for an energizing morning on the move. Bonelli Park is a favorite spot for local runners, cyclists, and nature lovers, and you’ll see why: the course combines scenic beauty with a welcoming, race-day atmosphere.

Whether you’re walking, jogging, or aiming for a personal record, this course offers a little bit of everything—lake views, shady sections, rolling terrain, and plenty of inspiration.

Scenic Lakeside 10k Course

Our 10K course begins on the same scenic lakeside road as the 5K, letting you take in the sparkling waters of Puddingstone Lake and the mountain views that make Bonelli Park so special.

At the halfway point, the course branches off to bring you onto park trails and rolling hills, adding a little more adventure and challenge. You’ll experience a blend of paved paths, natural terrain, and inclines that keep things exciting while still being very runnable.

With the combination of lake views, shaded sections, open trails, and mountain backdrops, the 10K is a rewarding course for both seasoned runners and those looking to push themselves a bit further.

Come ready for a mix of beauty and challenge—the 10K at Bonelli Park offers an unforgettable run surrounded by nature.
