Some sponsor relationships start with a conversation. This one started on a start line.
Be Active Physio has been showing up for the Bronte Runners Club long before we started planning a race. For the past two years, their team has been at our club runs and local events — not with a banner and a handshake, but with their hands on people’s legs. Pre-race taping. Post-run massage. A physiotherapist on the sidelines at our biggest club races, keeping members moving and helping them recover properly when it counts.
That’s the kind of relationship that earns a spot on the start line.
We’re proud to announce that Be Active Physio is the Awards Sponsor of the Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K 2026.
What That Means on Race Day
The prize purse at this year’s race includes $1,600 in cash prizes for the top three male and female open finishers, plus 8 pairs of ON Running performance shoes for the top open and masters (35+) finishers courtesy of ON Running.
Be Active Physio is sponsoring the cash prizes.
But they’re not just writing a cheque and going home. Their medical crew will be on-site at Bronte Harbour Park on June 21, helping runners prepare before the gun and recover properly after they cross the finish line. If you want to get taped before you run, they’ll be there. If your calves are screaming at 5.1K, they’ll be there for that too.
Why the Bronte Runners Trust Them
The Be Active Physio team is based right here in Oakville. Their clinic on Waycroft Road has been treating runners, athletes, and weekend warriors for years — physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, sports rehab, dry needling, shockwave therapy, custom orthotics. The list of services is long, but the approach is simple: one-on-one care, every visit. No handoffs. No shuffling you through a rotation.
Over 5,000 patients have come through their doors. Their Google reviews say things like “they go out of their way to make sure you are looked after” and “as a nurse and a runner training for a half marathon, it was crucial to address my issues — from the onset, Milay was informative.”
As someone who runs with the Bronte Runners Club every week, I’ve watched their team tape up ankles, work through IT band issues, and keep people in the sport who might otherwise have sat out the season. That matters more than any logo placement.
Get Ready for June 21
If you’re running the Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K and you want to arrive ready — not just warmed up, but actually ready — consider booking with Be Active Physio before race day. Their Oakville clinic is minutes from the start line at Bronte Harbour Park.

And on race morning, look for their team near the start/finish area. They’ll have a table set up. Stop by, say hello, and let them get you sorted.
We’re grateful to have them with us. They’ve earned this.
