SAU Farm Road Challenge

March 6 - March 7
SAU Farm Road Challenge
Firecracker 5K

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).
