They all actually run at about the same speed. A Greyhound will sprint at speeds of 39 to 43 MPH for a distance of 440 to 660 yards. A European brown hare can sprint at speeds of 45 MPH for about the same distance as a Greyhound. A racehorse can gallop at speeds of 40 to 50 MPH for 440 yards to 2 miles.
