Race-day by the numbers
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K took place at Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park in Oakville, Ontario — one of the most scenic waterfront venues on Lake Ontario. The Town of Oakville issued the event permits that made race day possible.
Why we love having them at the Classic
The Town of Oakville isn't a sponsor — as the permit authority, it can't endorse events — but race day simply doesn't happen without it. We're grateful to Town staff for working through the permits, park access, and road-use approvals that let the inaugural race call Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park home for a Father's Day morning.
