He Just Felt Like Runnin'
At some point, we all consider dropping everything and going for a very, very long jog. Maybe it’s the economy. Maybe it’s emotional growth. Maybe you just really like shrimp. This Running Forrest Gump Costume brings that cross-country energy to life, capturing the unforgettable look of Forrest mid-journey, post-breakup, and deep into his beard phase.
With a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. hat and a thousand-yard stare not included (you’ll have to provide that yourself), this outfit instantly transforms you into one of the most beloved accidental athletes of all time. Just don’t be surprised when people start yelling quotes at you. Constantly.
Design & Details
This officially licensed costume comes with a yellow polo shirt featuring green trim and a classic V-placket—lightweight and perfect for spontaneous distance running. The red shorts have white piping and an elastic waist for full freedom of movement (and dramatic leg lunges).
The white crew socks feature those iconic red and blue stripes, and the mesh-backed wig and beard combo delivers that “I’ve been running for three years, two months, fourteen days, and sixteen hours” vibe. Top it off with the red baseball hat embroidered with the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. logo, and boom—you’re ready to jog into cinema history.
Life Is Like a Costume Party
This Forrest Gump ensemble is great for costume parties, movie marathons, or that oddly-themed 5K your friend signed you up for without asking. One look, and folks will know: you're not just going for a run—you’re going for legendary.

We believe that costumes have the power to create some of life's best moments. That's why we started Made by Us. This diverse selection of costumes and accessories are all artfully designed and expertly crafted by our talented team of artists, designers, and developers.

Each project begins with a passion for true quality–embroidered patches, faux fur cut with care, and hand-selected fabrics that are as durable as they are comfortable. Those are just a few examples of how much craft and creativity we put into each and every product. Just for you.

No matter how much time it takes, our goal has always remained the same–to create products that inspire your life's best moments–the big, the small, the funny, the spooky, and the sweet. The moments we all cherish. That's Made by Us.

Was this review helpful to you? - Only one problemBy Current Customer | November 5, 2020
Height 5’9 | Weight 200 | Size LargeThe hat was disappointing. Poor quality and it’s a kid size. For the price of the costume I would have hoped for something that is actually one size fits all or a flex fit. I had to cut the emblem off and tape it to a red hat I bought that fits.Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Was this review helpful to you?
Monster Responds...We'll be sure and log the issue with the hat! Thanks for letting us know how this Running Forrest Gump costume worked for you! - Four StarsBy Current Customer | November 21, 2018
Hilarious costume. Fit me well. The beard was super tight around my ears though so I ended up tying a string around it so that it wasn't so tight. Also, I think it's a bit on the pricey side, maybe decrease the amount by $10.00. Other than that, great costume and definitely worth the buy if you're looking for laughs and uniqueness.Was this review helpful to you? - Five StarsBy Current Customer | November 17, 2018
