The annual Bubble Run took place Saturday at the Pomona Fairplex in Pomona, east of the U.S. city of Los Angeles, drawing over 8,000 participants to celebrate fitness, fun and foam.

The event invited runners, walkers, dancers and families to enjoy a 5 km course filled with vibrant colored foam stations.

As participants moved along the route, they encountered "Foam Bogs" -- large clouds of colorful bubbles -- which created a whimsical and playful atmosphere.

The Bubble Run has gained popularity across the United States for its unique blend of fitness and entertainment, appealing to first-time runners and seasoned athletes alike.

According to the organizer, the event encouraged people of all ages and abilities to stay active while having fun.
