Indy’s own Forrest Gump runs across the country

Cameron Balser finds himself during an extraordinary endeavor: running around America.

Coming from Noblesville, this determined native has dedicated the past five months to completing the first half of an astounding 11,000-mile run.

Now, his inspiring journey has caught the attention of a documentary film crew, who are eager to capture the essence of Indiana’s very own “Forrest Gump.”

With a fundraising effort underway, the team behind the documentary aims to chronicle Balser’s remarkable journey in its entirety.

Their mission is clear: to document the spirit, the rhythm of movement, the challenges, and the unwavering community support that propels Balser forward on his epic quest.

As part of this ongoing adventure, Balser has a significant milestone on the horizon.

On March 25th, 2024, he is set to start on The Speed Project, a 300-mile solo run that promises to be a historic detour in his monumental undertaking.

With every step, Balser’s journey shows the power of human determination and the bonds forged within communities rallying behind a common cause.
