When Forest Gump said “I’m pretty tired, I think I’ll go home now” was he breaking an obligation to keep running just because others were following him?

Well in this case, imagine if he didn't say that, or say anything. It would be pretty rude.

If I go for a jog, and a bunch of people start jogging behind me that I didn’t solicit in any way, then no… it is not rude of me to just stop jogging and go home without saying anything to them.

Exactly. A modicum of respect is all I expect.
