Jelly Roll Brings Movement to the Masses With ‘Losers Run Club’ AKA the People's Run Club
If you've seen country star Jelly Roll's 140-pound weight loss, it's apparent his healthy journey is just getting started, and he's encouraging those around him to get onboard. Now, he's setting his sights on helping others be the healthiest version of themselves with the launch of "Losers Run Club."
In partnership with Strava, the run club includes a group on Facebook to hold members accountable, tips from his chef Ian Larios, and hacks to go from "couch to 5K" by ultramarathoner Matthew Johnson.

“A little bit over a year ago, I literally struggled to walk down my hill to the mailbox, y’all,” Jelly Roll said in an Instagram post. “I mean, it was really bad. I had let myself get to a point of just being absolutely disgusted with myself. I was so sick and tired of it.”
Around that time he saw a video posted by comics and 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast hosts, Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura, who mentioned they were planning their own health event called 5K by May.
“I knew right then that if there was ever a place that I was gonna feel safe trying to do my first 5K, it was going to be at the 2 Bears 5K,” he said.
This comes about a year after Jelly Roll completed his first 5K in May 2024 with the help of his team. Because of the help he received on his quest to run his first mini-marathon, Jelly Roll wants to pay it forward.
“What we are trying to inspire here is just change and belief and community,” he said. “Somewhere where you can go and feel judgment-free when you’re trying to figure this thing out. I know how rough it was at first and how embarrassed I was to just be sucking snot and air every time I walked down the driveway. But it felt so good to have friends and people behind me, telling me I was doing the right thing.”
There's no doubt about it, Jelly Roll is still full steam ahead and now he's on a mission to bring his resources to anyone trying to better their health.
"I think that's a special thing about him," Larios told Men's Journal. "He's trying to actively change himself so he can continue helping others, it's like that's his purpose right now. He knows that once he gets this health journey kicking in and moving, he's only gonna be able to help more and more people."
