Just when we thought we’d seen the last of the fitness gimmicks (electric run, illumi run, zombie run — just run only cannot ah?!), here comes another.
Registration for the 5K Foam Run in Sentosa happening May 24 — 25 is opening at 9am on Feb. 6.
Thinking about doing it? There’s a video about all the stuff you can look forward to, plus all that stuff on the website that will take only about five minutes to get through, but, don’t waste your time. Here’s the gist in 10 seconds:
1. “The 5K Foam Run lets you live out your dreams”

What kind of dream is that? Like, a wet dream?
2. “Remember, nobody will be going home without this once in a lifetime experience”

Yah, because this is not the same as running through the snow machine outside Tanglin Mall and you can’t run in the annual Siloso Beach Party Foam Pool. So there.
3. “Get ready to be foamy on the craziest day of your life!”

Wow, this looks like it should have an age limit.
4. “Engage in many exciting and unique obstacles on the beaches of Sentosa”

OMG, is that a bouncy castle! Can registration day come faster?!
5. Tickets start at $68 per person

What a steal. We pay about half of that for the Adventure Cove Waterpark and only get to race down Singapore’s first hydro-magnetic coaster, go tightrope-racing over the water and go tubing in an underwater tunnel.
