Farm Road Challenge

When
March 14 @ 7:30 am - 12:00 pm

The Farm Road 5K Challenge is an annual race that raises money for The Overcoming Adversity Scholarship. The scholarship supports SAU student-athletes with disabilities.

Founders, Briston and Carley Rains, ran cross country and track and field at SAU (Briston 2020-2023, Carley 2017-2021). They started this scholarship in 2022 based on Carley’s true testimony of being a student-athlete with a disability (Narcolepsy with Cataplexy).
