Jason Kelce<\/strong><\/a> has no misconceptions about his running ability after completing a 5K to raise money for autism.<\/p>\n

Kelce, 36, participated the Mike\u2019s Seafood Run Walk for Autism in New Jersey on Saturday, February 17. Fans who attended the event<\/a> whipped out their cameras to watch as the NFL star completed the run at Excursion Park, later taking to social media to share the captured footage.<\/p>\n

In one video, posted by Fox Sports via X<\/a>, the Eagles player could be seen crossing the finish line while drenched in sweat as people cheered. \u201cJason Kelce ran a 5K to raise money for autism,\u201d they captioned the clip.<\/p>\n

Kelce retweeted <\/a>the post on Wednesday, February 21, adding, \u201c\u2018Ran\u2019 is a generous verb for what occurred. But we had a blast.\u201d<\/p>\n

The charity also posted snaps of the fundraiser, thanking Kelce for showing up for a good cause. \u201cJASON KELCE WE LOVE YOU!\u201d they wrote via Facebook <\/a>on Tuesday, February 20. \u201cThanks for coming & supporting!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelce has a long history of philanthropy, particularly in raising awareness for autism. He and his wife, Kylie Kelce<\/strong><\/a>, have worked closely with the Eagles Autism Foundation since Jason joined the NFL in 2011. The organization centers itself on \u201cresearch, advocacy, empathy and unity\u201d in an effort to raise awareness and funds for those in the autism community.<\/p>\n

For years, Kylie volunteered for the foundation<\/a> before taking on \u201cmore of an official\u201d responsibility and Jason has since joined her side. In addition to participating in various events and 5Ks, the couple led the way for the nonprofit\u2019s annual auction in November 2023 by putting up a throwback Kelly Green Eagles jacket that was ultimately awarded to Rob McElhenney<\/strong> and wife Kaitlin Olson<\/strong> for $100,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although talks of Jason retiring from the NFL have grew more prominent during the 2023-2024 season, his and Kylie\u2019s work with the EAF will be lifelong.<\/p>\n

\u201cEAF knows that they can\u2019t get rid of me,\u201d Kylie told The Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em> in January 2023. \u201cEven if I\u2019m not there in an official capacity, I\u2019ll just keep volunteering. Once football is done, but let\u2019s be real, I don\u2019t think football will ever be done. But once Jason is done snapping the football on a regular basis, I can\u2019t see us ever not having a part in EAF. We have that personal connection and we could never step away.\u201d<\/p>\n
