This depends on what type of hamster it is, how old it is, if it's overweight, underweight or if its big or small. Dwarf hamsters like the Russian Dwarf hamster (I have one) tends to run fairly fast. I think this is because of it's small body and light feet! Though when it comes to bigger hamsters, like Golden hamsters (used to have one) they run at a normal speed. So not too fast, yet not too slow. Though, just because it's slower, doesn't mean it's safe to let it out because you think you can catch it. You'll be surprised at how fast hamsters run when in danger! There's such thing as safer, but never safe... even hamsters!

Anyways, hope this helped!

It depends, but a Mexican Running Hamster has been know to clock in at 2km/hr.
