Yes. Koalas run on four legs along the ground when they are moving through their territory from tree to tree. Koalas have also been observed running reasonably quickly along the road, trying to cross to the trees on the other side of e road, almost too fast for well-meaning, jogging humans to catch up to them and move them out of harm's way.

How quick are koalas?
Most of the time, koalas amble along at the "normal" pace of a typical four-legged animal. They are also able to scale trees rapidly. Although they have a slow metabolism, koalas run quite quickly when they have reason to. I have witnessed people jogging alongside koalas, trying to keep them off the road. Some websites suggest that koalas in full flight are as fast as a rabbit, but this is not at all the case, and cannot be verified with any authoritative Australian websites.
How will global warming affect the koalas?
The main way in which climate change is likely to affect koalas is that the frequency and intensity of bushfires in Australia will probably increase. Bushfires, of course, kill koalas. Eucalyptus bushland will always regenerate after a bushfire - that is the way Australian native plants are designed - so, while koalas are unlikely to lose their food source anytime soon, the impact of bushfires on the koala population can be quite devastating. Koalas simply have nowhere to run and hide.
