A Company, 1st/19th Battalion, The Royal New South Wales Regiment, participated in a local fun run on Saturday 18 April.

Three soldiers from A Company participated in the 5km event, with one soldier, Lance Bombardier Samuel Joyce, finishing third overall in the event with a time of 19 mins 29 secs.

Soldiers from A Company chatted with members of the public to share their enjoyment of the beautiful but chilly Sunday morning event. Several members of the public expressed an interest in joining the Army Reserve as a way of serving the nation.

The activity reflects the enduring connection between Army reservists and the local community.

A Company's reservists live and work throughout the Riverina and regard themselves as the region's own soldiers, with a military tradition stretching back more than a century to the Kangaroo Marches before World War I.

This morning members of 1/19 RNSWR conducted their Run Army - Orange virtual event at Gosling Creek Reserve.

Run Army is an annual charity fun run that raises funds for Legacy. Legacy is a charity founded after WW1 in order to assist the families of soldiers killed or wounded in war, founded on the promise "to look after the missus and kids".

Participants undertake a 5km or 10km run/walk, with the main Run Army events taking place in Brisbane and Townsville.

The RSM took 1st place in the 5km, with the Adjutant overcoming some stiff competition to cross the line first in the 10km!

1/19 RNSWR is working towards opening the event to the public in future iterations.
