Country star Jelly Roll was overcome with emotion after finishing his first 5K run on Tuesday.

In a video, the 39-year-old singer was seen wiping away tears at the finish line after taking part in podcast hosts Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura's 2 Bears 5K. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jelly Roll noted that he had come a long way since he first accepted Kreischer and Segura's 5K By May challenge.

"I couldn't walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January," he said. "So the fact that we got 3-point-whatever it was done today, I felt really, really good about it."

Jelly Roll reflected on interacting with fans during the 2 Bears 5K, telling ET that it was "really cool" to hear that he had inspired others by participating in the run. 

"I think the coolest thing is how many people stopped to tell us that they were motivated by us, other big guys," he said. "It was just really cool to see that."

"What an eclectic group of people," he said of the race's participants. "There was a man running in a bear suit, there were people chugging beers..."

"There were people setting personal records too!" he added.

Last month, Jelly Roll's wife, Bunny Xo, revealed that the singer was taking a break from social media due to negative comments about his weight.

"My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f---ing weight," she said on her "Dumb Blonde" podcast. "That makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby."
