SAU Farm Road Challenge

SAU Farm Road Challenge is an annual fundraiser in Magnolia, Arkansas, staged at the SAU Alumni Center (1 Butler Circle). The weekend features three events: a 1/2 Mile Kids Run for ages 5–12, the Glow for the Gold 4-Mile Relay (4-person relay; all ages), and a 5K Run. The event emphasizes community and competition, with giveaways, shirts, medals, and age-group awards.

Proceeds benefit The Overcoming Adversity Scholarship, supporting SAU student-athletes with disabilities; the scholarship was started in 2022 by SAU alumni. Friday night events lead into Saturday's 5K, with awards and spirited team participation encouraged. It attracts participants of all ages and emphasizes community support.
