St Albans Inflatables

Bounce on to Team SPACE

Ready to rev up your fundraising efforts while having an absolute blast? We’ve got the perfect challenge for you!

The Inflatable 5K Obstacle Course is bouncing into St Albans, and it’s going to be epic! The obstacles are bigger, bouncier and better than ever, so get ready to jump, slide and laugh your way to the finish line.

Grab your friends, bring the family, or take on the course solo – however you do it, you’ll have the ultimate day out while supporting SPACE.

Pick your distance
Choose how far you want to bounce – 2.5K, 5K, 10K or 15K. Each lap is packed with huge inflatable obstacles and non-stop fun. Go at your own pace – run, jog or walk – it’s all about laughs, not lap times!

With three brand-new obstacles added this year, you’ll tackle 30 gigantic inflatables on the 5K course alone, plus five pumping music zones to keep your energy high all the way round.

Bounce for SPACE
Every step, jump and slide you take helps SPACE support more families of neurodivergent children and young people across Hertfordshire. Sign up today, start fundraising, and make your miles matter for SPACE!
