Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K
📅 Sunday, June 21, 2026 · 🏁 8:00 AM Start · 📍 Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park, Oakville
The Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K is a chip-timed race along one of the most scenic waterfront routes in Ontario — Lake Ontario right beside you the entire way. Flat, fast, and beautiful. Whether you're chasing a personal best or crossing your first finish line, this course was made for you.
Then stay for everything else. The post-race Father's Day Waterfront Festival turns race day into a full community celebration — live music you can dance to, a jumping castle the kids won't want to leave, craft beer by the lake, local food, and the kind of afternoon that becomes a memory you talk about for years. Come for the run. Stay for the day.
