🔥 What a night at Moon in June!

Bronte Runners and Bronte Harbour Classic were out in full force yesterday, and even with the heat, the energy was incredible. Red shirts everywhere, big smiles, medals earned, and a great reminder of why this running community is so special.

Now we’re bringing that same energy home to Oakville.

In just two weeks, we’ll see you at the Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K on Father’s Day — Sunday, June 21 at Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park.

Whether you’re racing, walking, bringing the kids, cheering, visiting the festival, or just coming out to be part of the day — this is going to be a true community celebration.

If Moon in June showed us anything, it’s this: race day is always better when you’re surrounded by good people.

Come join us in Bronte. Let’s make this first Bronte Harbour Classic something special.
