The Hi-Neighbor 5K is the third annual community 5K run/walk presented by Zappos in Providence, Rhode Island. The event is free to enter and is described as family-friendly, welcoming participants of various ages. The course runs along the Blackstone Boulevard walking path, a tree-lined route in Providence.

Organizers provide free race shirts to participants through sponsorship.
