Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s offseason is already off to a great start.
The weekend after attending Super Bowl LVIII to cheer on his brother Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce win the title, the elder brother participated in a 5K race in Philadelphia to raise money for autism.
Kelce finished the race, the Mike’s Seafood Run/Walk for Autism which occurred on Saturday, Feb. 17, a few seconds past the 43-minute mark, one video showed. The nearly 300-pound center was greeted by a plethora of fans at the finish line cheering him on. Kelce definitely looked tired after finishing the 5K—it is his offseason, to be fair.

The 5K was in support of a cause that is important to Kelce, as he, his wife Kylie and his mother Donna have all been involved with the Eagles Autism Foundation since its founding in 2019.
Fans loved seeing Kelce spending his time helping raise money for charity. Take a look at some of the social media responses.
Let me tell you something, this 5k run isn’t easy.
The face Jason is making here is from pain.

He’s been doing numerous autism related charity events, including with the Eagles Autism Foundation, their 5k, and with many of his teammates. He’s bartended at the Jersey Shore. He’s a uniquely awesome guy. We love him. 💚
