In the sense in which you probably meant it (Does carrying extra fat slow you down while running or playing games?) the answer is yes: fat is mass, and moving more mass takes more work.
However, having a store of fat is a benefit during certain endurance events, such as running a marathon or swimming the English Channel. In those cases, the body exhausts its usual energy source (carbohydrates) and after a period of exhaustion -- known colloquially as 'the wall' -- it switches over and begins to burn its fat stores directly.
