I mean, sure I guess I can see some family resemblance, but the same could be said of a lot of pale, dark-haired twenty-somethings. And the older person doesn't necessarily have to be a mother. It could be a friend, neighbor, or even an extended family member--an aunt or something like that. I mean, while they are young adults they aren't teenagers, so I'm having a hard time getting the whole family together for an outing like this, whether clothed or naked. Not many twenty-something siblings take on a 5k with their mum.
But then I found this photo, which does kind of help make your case. As you can see, it appears they didn't start off naked. The girl still has a top wrapped over her shoulders, and the guy is still fully clothed. So maybe it did start off as a normal clothed family outing, and the maybe the adventurous daughter tells her mom, "Hey, I think I'm going to get naked." And the liberal hippie mom says, "Sure honey, whatever makes you happy." A few miles later the brother (or friend) joins in.
In addition you'll notice their bib numbers are fairly close in sequential order, which could mean they were purchased together. However, since they're not exactly in sequential order, that might mean they were purchased as part of a larger group, which in turn might indicate they know each other through a club, student group, or other organization. So I guess that isn't much help, but at least it eliminates the possibility that it was a random strange whom they asked to hold their clothes.
Anyway, I'm not sure exactly what the story is, but this pic is obviously another piece of the puzzle.
