No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.
Pyroclastic flow
No, it is highly unlikely that a person could outrun a pyroclastic cloud. Pyroclastic clouds can travel at speeds of up to 450 miles per hour, making them extremely fast and dangerous. It is recommended to evacuate an area before a pyroclastic cloud reaches it.
Pyroclastic flow typically occurs during a violent eruption.
Strangely, pyroclastic flows are silent. The speed of sound inside such a flow is quite slow, slower than the speed at which the flow moves. Because of this and other acoustic properties, all sound produced by a pyroclastic flow remains trapped inside of it.
Yes, of course Krakatoa has a pyroclastic flow. Every volcano has an pyroclastic flow, which can travel up to at huge speeds. Krakatoa's pyroclastic flow raced an amazing 200 mph over 20 miles of open sea. Yes Krakatoa has pyroclastic flows but not all volcanoes produce pyroclastic flows, only Mt. St. Helens type volcanoes usually composed of andesite. Kilauea for example does not produce pyroclastic flows because it is composed of basalt, the lava flows out easily.
Well, pyroclastic flow will preserve your body so the best thing to do is strike a pose! There is no way to outrun it unless you have your own super-fast private jet. I don't...so I'm thinking of going for a Megan Fox pose...
Pyroclastic flow.

an explosive volcano will usually have a pyroclastic flow

The pyroclastic flow from the volcano devastated the surrounding area, burying everything in its path under a blanket of ash and hot gases.
A pyroclastic flow moves away from a volcano in all directions.
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
Pyroclastic flow is gas that result from water mixing with loose material on the steep sides of a volcano.
