Run Training Partner — returning to deliver beginner 5K and speed-work clinics in the months before the 2027 race.
Oakville Performance Running, led by Charles J. Sathmary, returns as the official run training partner of the 2027 Bronte Harbour Classic — the same role it played at the inaugural 2026 Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K.
Their structured clinics — from beginner 5K training to advanced speed work — are built to get runners of every level to the start line ready. For a race made to welcome first-timers and seasoned runners alike, real coaching behind the field makes all the difference: more finishers, more personal bests, and more people discovering they’re capable of more than they thought.
The clinics run in the months leading up to race day — Sunday, June 20, 2027, Father’s Day, at Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park. Wherever you’re starting from, there’s a plan to get you there.
Why we love having them at the Classic
This is our own coaching arm — Charles J. Sathmary built the clinics that carried year-one runners from their first jog to race-ready, and he's bringing them back for 2027. For a team determined that no first-timer toes the line unprepared, having real coaching inside the organizing group remains one of our quiet superpowers.
