SAU Farm Road Challenge
The SAU Farm Road Challenge takes place March 6-7, 2026 in Magnolia, Arkansas at the SAU Alumni Center (1 Butler Circle, Magnolia, AR 71753). It is an annual fundraising event that benefits The Overcoming Adversity Scholarship, which supports SAU student-athletes with disabilities. The scholarship began in 2022 after a student-athlete shared their experience living with narcolepsy with cataplexy.
