About the race
The Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic takes place on Father's Day, June 20, 2027, at Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park in Oakville. The event returns for a second year with three distance options and a waterfront festival. The course is flat, paved, and stroller-friendly along the harbour. Chip timing is used for the main road races.
The 5K is open to runners and walkers and allows strollers. The 10K is new for 2027 and is a run only event. The Speak Squad Kids 1K is for children ages 2 to 12, is not timed, and every child finisher receives a medal.
Age restrictions apply for the 5K: participants must be 8 years or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. A virtual entry option is offered for participants who cannot attend in person; virtual runners complete their distance during race week from anywhere in Canada and receive the same finisher medal by mail. The event supports the Oakville Dads Community Fund, with donations staying local. The Father's Day waterfront festival accompanies race day and includes live music, a vendor market with local businesses and food, a kids zone with activities, and a beer garden. The inaugural edition in 2026 sold out and the organisers added a 10K for 2027. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
