Pregnant Jean turned up to support her fellow leaders Cathal, Siobhan, Pamela and Paul.
Despite struggling with an injury going into the event, Siobhan completed thanks to the support of the general public (and Kathryn Thomas).
Cathal vowed to run the 5km next year and beat the time he set.

Collectively, the leaders lost 10.5 stone, but it seems to be the personal change observed in the leaders that made the biggest impression on viewers.
Many related to Paul and Siobhán’s struggle to find a good work-life balance. Jean’s story of loss deeply resonated with families across Ireland. Cathal got frank about mental health, while Pamela quit the smokes for her family.
