We’re proud to welcome Natrilyte as the Official Hydration Partner of the Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K — serving every runner at our water stations and the finish line on Father’s Day, June 21, 2026.
This partnership is about more than hydration. It’s about two Oakville originals — a community race and a community-born product — launching together on the same morning.
What Is Natrilyte?
Natrilyte is a new electrolyte drink developed at Radix Gym in Oakville by Daniel Thiessen — a retired MMA fighter, CrossFit coach, and the founder of one of Oakville’s most respected fitness communities.
After 25 years of coaching athletes and watching them reach for the wrong thing after a hard effort, Daniel built the right one.
What’s in Natrilyte:
- 1,000 mg sodium — what your body actually loses when you sweat hard
- 400 mg magnesium — for muscle function and recovery
- 9 natural ingredients total
- Zero calories
- Zero sugar
- Nothing artificial. Nothing you don’t need.
The formula was tested on Radix members — real athletes, real workouts, real feedback — before it was offered to anyone outside the gym. The result is an electrolyte that performs at race pace and actually tastes good.
How do I know? I’m a runner. I tried it last week.
It’s one of the best-tasting electrolytes I’ve ever had. Zero sugar, zero calories, and it goes down clean at the end of a hard effort. That’s exactly what every Bronte Harbour runner will experience on June 21.
A Local Launch Story
June 21 is not just race day for Natrilyte. It’s launch day.
The first 1,000 cans — Natrilyte’s entire founding batch — are going directly to this race. Not a store shelf. Not an online retailer. A start line.
Every runner at the Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic will taste Natrilyte at the 2.5 km midpoint water station and at the finish line. It’s a community product launching inside a community race. That’s a story worth being part of.
Natrilyte is also the exclusive electrolyte partner of the race — no competing hydration product will be served on course.
Natrilyte on Race Day
As Official Hydration Partner, Natrilyte will be present throughout the race experience:
- Midpoint Water Station (2.5 km): Natrilyte available alongside water for all 5K runners
- Finish Line Hydration Station: Every finisher receives Natrilyte immediately after crossing
- Post-Race Expo Booth: Visit the Natrilyte booth at the Father’s Day Waterfront Festival — sample the product, meet the Radix team, and learn how to order
- Swag Bag Insert: Natrilyte information included in every participant swag bag (800+ bags)
