People who actually deal with bears say a grizzly bear can cover two miles at 30 miles an hour, "a stamina that would certainly try the best of horses." See http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/yell/vol14-1-2a.htm

The text at the URL above was written by a Yellowstone Park Ranger who had many chances to observe grizzly bears. He quotes Ernest Thompson Seton, who says "Those who form their idea of a bear's speed from watching a hulking, slouching prisoner, are sure to be amazed at the real thing. For 50 or 100 yards a Grizzly can go faster than any horse, and keep it up indefinitely."

Some, yes. Snails and turtles are slow. Most humans can easily outrun them. Other animals like the deer, antelope, mountain lion, cheetah, bear, and dogs can easily outrun humans. So I guess the best answer would be that some can and some can not.
