Jelly Roll is gearing up for a half-marathon!

"I'm putting in the work, it's an 18-month journey," explained the singer of "Need a Favor.''
"I aim to complete a few more 5Ks before tackling the half-marathon next autumn."
Reflecting on his progress, he told Entertainment Tonight, "When I started this journey back in January, I couldn't even walk a mile. So, achieving three-point-something miles today felt incredibly satisfying."
He disclosed that he had shed "around fifty to seventy-something pounds" while preparing for the 5K races.
Jelly Roll, born Jason Bradley DeFord, has openly discussed his weight struggles over the years. In 2018, he shared on Instagram that he weighed over 500 pounds in 2015 before commencing his health transformation, ultimately losing 200 pounds.
