At the 2027 Event

Race Organizer — returning to co-organize the 2027 event and keep runners and festival-goers sun-safe on a June waterfront morning.

GearTOP Design returns as a co-organizer of the 2027 Bronte Harbour Classic — the same role it played in the inaugural 2026 Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K, and the perfect brand to have on a sunny June morning by the water.

GearTOP supplies premium UV-blocking sun protection gear — UPF 50+ sun hats like the Navigator and Discoverer series, kids’ hats, balaclavas, gloves, and accessories — trusted by hikers, runners, and outdoor families across Canada and the US, all backed by a lifetime product guarantee.

On Sunday, June 20, 2027 — Father’s Day — at Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park, keeping runners and festival-goers protected from the summer sun won’t just be on-brand; it’s second nature.

Why we love having them at the Classic

GearTOP is one of our own organizing brands, and having a sun-protection company co-build a Father's Day race on the open waterfront means sun safety is baked into the plan from the start — not bolted on. They proved it in year one, and they're back to do it again.
