What reason did Forrest give on runnung across America?

Answer 1

The Reason Forrest Gump Ran"i just felt like running" is the reason Forrest gives, but the real reason is that Jenny left him. To make a long story short, Jenny returned to Forrest's home for a brief period, which Forrest said was the happiest time in his life until that point. Then, one night Forrest asks Jenny to marry him. Her only answer is that "Forrest, you don't want to marry me." He asks her why she doesn't love him. Later that night she enters his bed, tells him that she loves him, and they make love. She leaves the next morning in a cab while Forrest is still asleep. That same day Forrest takes off running, and goes for over three years.

Answer 2

When Forrest was telling his story, he said there was no particular reason why he ran, he just did. He remembered what his mother had said, "…you've go to put the past behind you before you can move on, and I think that's what my running was all about." After running for more than three years, he just wanted to go home.

Answer 3

The movie does not tell us definitively how many times Forrest crossed America. When he set out from his home in Alabama, he headed west - the first coast he reached was the west coast (as evidenced by his arrival at the Santa Monica pier.) He was then shown arriving at what is presumed to be the east coast. From there, the journey is shown in a musical montage. At one point, a TV news anchor introduces a story saying that "for more than two years now, a man named Forrest Gump…has been running across America." The reporter covering the story goes on to say, "for the fourth time on his journey across America, Forrest Gump…is about to cross the Mississippi Riveragain today." Forrest kept on running after that crossing, eventually stopping in the desert. At that point he stated, "I had run for three years, two months, fourteen days and sixteen hours."
