The ship's company of HMAS Newcastle don't let a lack of running space get in their way as they undertake a run around the decks of the FFG in support of the Lest We Forget Run. The run consisted of 107 laps around the forecastle. There were two runs held, one at 8am and the other at 4pm. POPT Brad Walsh said he was a regular runner anyway, whether it be on land or on a ship. "I thought this particular race might still allow my participation, even though it was by proxy, so to speak. The fact that this particular race is all about remembering those who have gone before me was an added incentive. I would've run my own race, regardless," he said.
