Hi-Neighbor 5K : Providence, Rhode Island

The Hi-Neighbor 5K is a free community run and walk presented by Zappos and held in Providence, Rhode Island. The course uses the Blackstone Boulevard walking path, a tree-lined route noted for its park-like setting within the city. Participants register at no cost and runners will receive a complimentary race shirt provided by the event sponsor.

The event is organized as part of the City of Providence Fitness in the Parks program and aims to bring neighbors together for outdoor activity and community connection. Pre-registration online is available, and on-site registration is offered on the day of the event. Volunteer assistance is requested for race day operations.

This edition includes a tribute component: funds will be raised for a memorial bench to be placed in Roger Williams Park, with a stated fundraising goal of $5,000 to cover installation and ten years of maintenance. The event schedule includes pre-race announcements and a post-race celebration and awards segment.

Information presented focuses on the event format, location, sponsorship, community aspects, registration options, volunteer needs, and the memorial fundraising effort. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
