October 25, 2008 Karate America Sun Prairie was proud to be a part of the First Annual Youth Pumpkin Chase during the Fall Festival in downtown Sun Prairie.

Young kids between 5 and 12 years old participated in the one mile walk/run.  Each participant that successfully completed the course received a water bottle which had a 1-day pass for the YMCA and 2-weeks of FREE classes from Karate America.
