It depends on the type of volcano. In the case of a stratovolcano, also called a composite volcano (the kind with a tall, conical mountain) you would be struck by hot ash from a pyroclastic flow, and there is no way that you could out run that (although you should never give up)! In a shield volcano, like the ones in Hawaii, there is no pyroclastic flow and you could probably out run the lava.

Why is lava not the most dangerous part of a Volcanic eruption?
Because Lava is very slow so you can run from it and it cools and hardens into rock when it sets, however pyroclastic flows are round 140mph so you cant run from them.
How far on average does lava travel?
There's a range for lava flow that stretches from a few inches to a number of miles. It depends mostly on a lava's viscosity. Highly vuc\\iscous lava volcanoes, such as Mt. St. Helens, tend to erupt violently, but lava flows are slow and quick to solidify. Underwater eruptions may have lava that solidifies on the outside almost instantly. Extremely low viscosity lava flows, like those in Hawaii, may run for days and cover miles before solidifying.

Magma flows for a long period of time but named lava when out of the ground. It depends how fast the lava is travels, but you can usually run from it:)

Where is the lava spring on spectrobes?
The Lava spring is in an new area called area 2 on the planet of genshi, once you get into the area run around every time you see a dead end turn around. if that dead end happens to be a river of lava then get close to it to automatically do a trick once you are at the spring do the same trick that happens to every pond or river of lava to the 4 rivers of lava leading to the spring when done the spring will run dry and you will see a stone table walk up to it and claim your prize if you need more info post on my message board.
