Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K, 10K & Kids 1K
📅 Sunday, June 20, 2027 · 📍 Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park, Oakville
🏁 Speak Squad Kids 1K: 8:00 AM · 5K Race: 8:30 AM · NEW 10K Race: 8:30 AM
The Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 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. In 2026 every single spot sold out and everyone loved it. For 2027 we're back with more spots, a brand-new 10K distance, and an even bigger celebration for the whole family.
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.
