Bolt for the Heart 5K

The Bolt for the Heart - Thanksgiving Day 5K is an annual family-friendly running event held in Carmel, Indiana. Taking place on Thanksgiving morning, this 5K Run/Walk supports a life-saving cause by funding the placement of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in law enforcement patrol cars. Participants can join the in-person 5K, a special "Play for Jake" event that includes apparel and donations, or a Virtual 5K with mailed race packets.

The race fosters a community atmosphere focused on health and safety, encouraging families and individuals to come together for fitness and charity. The event is in its 14th year and offers team registration discounts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
