At the 2026 Event
Official Running Store Partner — hosted the official race-kit and bib pickup at their Burlington store on Friday, June 19.
Race-day by the numbers
Runner’s Den Burlington was the Official Running Store Partner of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K, hosting the official race-kit and bib pickup at their Burlington location on Brant Street on Friday, June 19 — two days before the race.
An independent running retailer with more than 30 years serving Canadian runners, Runner’s Den is built on expert shoe fitting across the brands runners love — Hoka, Brooks, Saucony, ASICS, New Balance, Mizuno, ON and more — plus performance apparel, accessories, run groups, clinics, and personalized coaching. They’re the running store the way it should be: knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely part of the community.
Why we love having them at the Classic
Two days before the race, our Friday bib pickup turned their Brant Street store into race headquarters — runners collecting kits surrounded by people who actually know running. An independent shop with 30 years of runner-first service was the perfect front door to race weekend.
