Oakville Performance Running, led by Race Co-Director Charles J. Sathmary, was the official run training partner of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K.

Their structured clinics — from beginner 5K training to advanced speed work — got runners of every level to the start line ready. For an inaugural race built to welcome first-timers and seasoned runners alike, having real coaching behind the field made all the difference: more finishers, more personal bests, and more people who discovered they were capable of more than they thought.

Why we love having them at the Classic

This is our own coaching arm — Race Co-Director Charles J. Sathmary built the clinics that carried runners from their first jog to race-ready. For a team determined that no first-timer would toe the line unprepared, having real coaching inside the organizing group was one of our quiet superpowers.
