Father's Day · June 21, 2026
The moment a dad
never forgets.
Picture it: your child at the start line, a little nervous, a lot excited — then they run. And when they cross that finish line and get that medal placed around their neck, they look up to find you. That look is everything.
The Kids 1K Fun Run is a 1-kilometre waterfront run along Bronte Harbour — short enough for any child, memorable enough for a lifetime. No pressure. No clocks. Just pure joy.

What Is the Kids 1K?
The Kids 1K Fun Run is a non-timed, non-competitive run designed for children ages 2 to 12. There are no clocks, no pressure, and no results boards — just kids having fun, running with friends, and earning their very own finisher medal.
Parents and guardians are welcome to run alongside younger children. The route is short, safe, and fully marshalled along the waterfront.
After the run, families can enjoy the full Father's Day Waterfront Festival with a kids zone, live music, food, and more.

Parent Questions
Can I run with my child?
Yes. Parents and guardians are encouraged to run alongside younger children. You do not need a separate registration to accompany your child on the 1K course.
Is it timed?

What if my child is under 2?
Children under 2 are welcome to participate in a stroller pushed by a parent or guardian. Registration is still required.
Is the course safe?
The course is fully marshalled, flat, and paved. It is a short loop near the start/finish area at Bronte Harbour Park.
June 21 Sun Protection Tip for Families
Oakville's UV Index in late June typically reaches 7–9 — high enough that your child needs proper protection, not just a quick sunscreen spray. The SunUp app has a family mode that calculates a separate burn time for your child based on their skin type and the day's UV forecast. Check it before you leave the house.
