Did someone actually run from cost to coast like in the movie forest gump?

Yes, there have been individuals who have run across the United States, similar to Forrest Gump's iconic journey in the movie. One notable example is Rob Pope, who completed a cross-country run in 2016, covering over 15,000 miles to raise awareness for various charities. While these real-life runs weren't exactly like the fictional portrayal, they reflect the spirit of endurance and determination showcased in the film.
