Runners took over the Girl Scout Camp in New Liberty, Iowa Saturday morning.

It was all part of the “One Tough Cookie” run to help local Girl Scouts.

Local 4’s Krista Burris takes us inside the run and shows us what it means to local Girl Scout Troops.

“It’s a mess out there. There’s a lot of water out there, obstacles, tons of mud, a wall to crawl over, some hay bails to jump. It’s a beast of a course,” Runner Ryan Bell.

The race was held at the girl scout camp in New Liberty, Iowa.

Local Girl Scout Marketing Vice President Shelly Wells-Cain says this is not your typical run.

“You can be a beginning athlete. You can be just someone out for just some fun. You are going to get completely muddy. You’re going to trash your clothing. They are some of the best fun I’ve ever had,” said Wells-Cain.

There’s about 500 people all running to keep the fun going for Girl Scouts.

“It’s a major fundraiser to help support our girls, to pay for the Girl Scout program, to send girls to camp, to pay for financial assistance,” said Wells-Cain.

The race includes everything from tunnels mud pits and a big slip and slide.

Geneseo Girl Scout Audrianna Schneider did it all.

“The run was pretty intense. It was really fun. We got down and dirty, and it was actually worth it,” said Audrianna.

Organizers aim to raise about 20 grand for girl scout programming.

Audrianna says she’s seen great improvements from the funds in the past.

“They’re funding our new lodges and the new horse barn, so now when it’s raining, we can go inside, so we don’t have to cancel and reschedule it,” said Audrianna.

The girl scout says all the mud, sweat and ruined clothes will help Audrianna and the other local girl scouts become stronger, tough cookies, prepared for anything.
