In 1994, a film by Robert Zemeckis premiered that has already become a classic in the history of cinema: "Forrest Gump".
Starring Tom Hanks, the film tells the story of a man with an intellectual disability born in Alabama, USA. This excellent film featured a magnificent soundtrack composed by Alan Silvestri. One of the best moments in the film is when its protagonist decides to start running without any clear goal. He ended up running for 1,170 days and 16 hours.
This race takes you through some beautiful locations in the United States. This part of the film ends with a stunning shot of Route 163 in Utah, with Monument Valley in the background.
I'm a big fan of maritime lighthouses, so one of my favorite places on this race is the Marshall Point Lighthouse, built in 1832 in Port Clyde, Maine, in the northeastern United States. The lighthouse's beacon is still in use today, as is its foghorn. Both remain under the responsibility of the U.S. Coast Guard. The lighthouse building itself is now a museum owned by the City Council of St. George. You can visit their official website here.
On the website travegeo.com you can find an interactive map that includes all the locations of this race. You can see a screenshot of that map below (click on the image to enlarge it). As you can see, the race was extremely long. In 2013, a journalist estimated that Forrest Gump would have run about 30,000 km, averaging 25 km per day.
Today, those locations have become a magnet for many fans of that film. Some even run through them dressed in outfits like the ones Forrest Gump wore in the famous movie. In December 2023, James Gelet posted a video posing at the various locations from that part of the film and indicating which places they are, even showing their coordinates:
"And that's all I have to say about that." 😉
