The Saturn IV rocket was proposed but never built; there were two proposed first stages, so no speed can be given.

The Saturn V rocket was composed of three stages:

The first stage fired for 2.5 minutes and reached a speed of 6164 mph (9921 km/h).

The second stage fired for 6 minutes and reached a speed of 15,647 mph (25,182 km/h - 7.00 km/s).

The final stage burn depended on the mission, but for Apollo 11, the burn was nearly 6 minutes reached a speed of 25,053 mph (40,320 km/h; 11.2 km/s) - close to the escape velocity of Earth.
