Jelly Roll Needs to Do One other 5K After Dropping 70 Lbs Coaching

Jelly Roll is feeling better than ever after finishing his first 5K, and he’s already considering his next race … TMZ has learned.

We caught up with Jelly Roll after his race Tuesday at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, where the singer declared he felt emotional over the achievement.

He added … “I truly have lost like 70 pounds getting ready for this. I’ve been training a few days a week pretty hard. It was still rough. It was cool though.”

Jelly Roll shouted out the camaraderie between participants at the 2 Bears 5k — hosted, naturally, by comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura, who also host their “2 Bears, 1 Cave” podcast.

JR says he got plenty of encouragement along the route and even joked he would’ve done a 5K sooner if he had known they were like this — noting there was plenty of tailgating, drinking and good times happening at the race.
