Lightning run (4)

I believe the answer is:

bolt

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'lightning?' is the first definition.
(I know that bolt is a type of lightning)

'run' is the second definition.
(I know that bolt is a more specific form of the action flee)

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Leave suddenly and in a hurry" , "Run away; bar of lock" , "From the blue, it's a great surprise" , "wolf" , "Runner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
