The Boulevard Bolt - Thanksgiving Day 2008

Imagine a world where Baptists, Jews, and Episcopalians pause from carving the Thanksgiving turkey and join hands to serve the homeless.

No imagination is necessary—that’s actually what happens each Thanksgiving Day in Nashville as three congregations work together to put on the Boulevard Bolt, a 5-mile race on Belle Meade Boulevard. There is an amazing spirit and sense of cooperation among the volunteers from Immanuel Baptist Church, St. George’s Episcopal Church, and The Temple who “make the Bolt happen each year.”

Since 1994 the Bolt has grown to be one of the largest 5-mile races in the entire country. It has become a family tradition for literally thousands of people who view it as a way to do for others before counting their own blessings. The 2007 Boulevard Bolt attracted over 7,800 entrants and distributed around $150,000 to agencies that serve the homeless in Middle Tennessee.
