Play for Jake - Bolt for the Heart 5K Run/Walk 2026

Play for Jake - Bolt for the Heart is an annual 5K run/walk held in LaPorte County, Indiana, taking place between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM. It is designed for both runners and walkers, welcoming families with free entry for children aged 5 and under, and participants 75 and older. The event benefits Bolt for the Heart's initiative to equip law enforcement patrol cars with automatic external defibrillators, directly linking the fundraising objective to emergency response capabilities. Participants can register for the standard 5K, or select the Play for Jake package, which includes a quarter-zip shirt, a T-shirt, and a contribution to the cause.
