Operation Transformation season ten is coming to an end! Our five leaders and their followers have been working hard to stick to their food and exercise plans over the past seven weeks. To celebrate their efforts RTÉ is kicking off a 5k run in the Phoenix Park with 2fm's Keith Walsh this Saturday morning!
Where?
Chesterfield Avenue, The Phoenix Park, Dublin 8
When?
This Saturday, February 18th, 2017 from 9:00 am. The race will start 9.30am sharp.
Who will be there?
Operation Transformation host Kathryn Thomas, RTÉ Radio 1 presenter Ray D’Arcy, OT experts Karl Henry, Aoife Hearne, Dr. Eddie Murphy and Dr. Ciara Kelly and of course, our five leaders Seán Daly, Yvonne Keenan-Ross, Chris McElligott, Maireád Redmond and Marie-Grace.
It's going to be an emotional end to an intense few weeks as our Operation Transformation leaders cross the finish line with their five thousand followers. To lighten the mood and get the party started, 2fm DJ Keith Walsh will be broadcasting live from the Phoenix Park for the 5k run from 9 am to 11 am.
We caught up with Keith to ask him three very important questions before the run.
1. What can we expect to hear on the track list?
Basically, anything you can run 5k too! Some upbeat songs definitely and anything with a beat.
2. What are your favorite motivational songs?
Anything really, I like a bit of hip-hop. I'm kind of old school so anything from Stone Roses to a classic like Eye of the Tiger.
3. When's the last time you ran 5k?
I ran the Dublin City Marathon last year so I did a lot of running before that!
The finale of Operation Transformation will broadcast on Wednesday, 22nd of February at 8:30 pm and Thursday, 23 February on RTÉ One at the earlier time of 7pm.
