At the 2026 Event
Supported Charity of the 2026 race — all donations collected went directly to the Oakville Dads Community Fund.
Race-day by the numbers
The Oakville Dads Community Fund was the supported charity of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K. All donations collected during registration and on race day went directly to the Oakville Dads Community Fund through the Oakville Community Foundation — supporting programs that strengthen fatherhood, family, and community in Oakville.
A volunteer-driven group founded in 2018, Oakville Dads runs golf tournaments, a scholarship fund, and community giving that supports the Oakville Foodbank, Oakville Meals on Wheels, and Oakville SafetyNet. Building the inaugural race around a Father’s Day morning wasn’t a coincidence — it was the whole point.
Why we love having them at the Classic
This is the reason the race lives on Father's Day. All donations collected during registration and on race day go to the Oakville Dads Community Fund through the Oakville Community Foundation — a volunteer group of local dads quietly doing an enormous amount of good in our town.
