Best Answer

Some old records state around 30 km/hour.

But since they are walking on "pillars", they can only keep this speed for a very short time. At speed over ap 16 km pH they change from a fast walking to a "jumping" running, where at least one foot is on the ground.

An elephant can run pretty fast for a large animal like itself, it can run an average adult human, at the maximum m.p.h. 50 m. At the least it would be 20 m.p.h.
