Think a race finish line is just about catching your breath? Think again! At Rescue Run your reward for crossing the finish line is massive, a music-pumping Bubble Foam After-Party! The high-powered foam cannons will blast towering walls of vibrant, colored foam to celebrate your achievement. Don't worry about the mess-the custom suds are 100% non-toxic, eco-friendly, tear-free, and easily wash out. It's the most fun you have on two feet! What a way to celebrate knowing you are helping set a child free!!!
