Rob Pope is an Adventurer and Ultra Endurance Runner from Liverpool, England.

In 2016 Rob Pope embarked on an enormous journey, running across the United States following Forest Gump's exploits from the film. His journey took him across the nation FIVE TIMES, covering over 15,700 miles and resulting in several records (including a Guinness World Record) and many more significant milestones.

On the morning of 15 September 2016, with a fresh Gump haircut and a red jacket made by his girlfriend Nadine, Rob set off on the first of 422 days of running in which he traversed the US from Mobile to Santa Monica, onwards to Death Valley and more.

Then on 29 April 2018, the run was over. He’d exhausted 33 pairs of trainers, crossed 43 states and reached the ocean five times. He’d eaten his way through enough hot dogs, ham salad and Dr Pepper to fuel an army. He had covered over 15,000 miles and on the Podcast today has enough stories from his time across America.
