The Pot of Gold 5K offers an opportunity for participants to run or walk through Knightdale Station Park. Registration includes a shirt, finisher’s medal, local swag, and access to race day photos. The event features food trucks and awards for top finishers overall and by age group. Proceeds support the Northside Compassion Project, a non-profit aiding community members with food and shelter needs through initiatives like a 24-hour food box. Participants are encouraged to pick up race packets on designated days, with uncollected items donated to the project.
