Runners head west on Ontario Street from the start, north on Bronte Road, east on Marine Drive, northeast on Belvedere to Lakeshore Road, north into Coronation Park for the turnaround, returning south on Lakeshore Road, south on Third Line, through Waters Edge Drive, west on Marine Drive, south on East Street, and back along Ontario Street to the finish. The course is fully paved with no significant elevation changes.
10K Route
New for 2027The 10K is a brand-new distance for 2027. The route starts and finishes at Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park alongside the 5K, and is currently in road-permit and traffic-control review with the Town of Oakville.
We will publish the full map, turn-by-turn description, and road closure times here as soon as the plan is approved. What is already confirmed: the course is chip-timed, fully marshalled, and — as with the 5K — flat and paved along the Oakville waterfront. The 5K and 10K run separate courses in the final stretch, so faster 10K runners are never weaving through 5K walkers.
