The average nine year old runs a mile in ten and a half minutes, but can sprint for short distances at up to 15 miles per hour.
A 7 year old running 100 meters in under 35 seconds is quicker than average. Similarly, a 7 year old running a mile in under 10 minutes is considered a fast pace.
I would say an 11-minute mile is an average for a 10-year-old. When I was 10, I ran about 7:50, but some of my classmates were up to a minute faster than me. So, to answer your question, if you are running faster than an 11-minute mile, you are above average and probably have a “good” mile time.
The average 12 year old, without any training, should be able to run 9-15 mph.
The best time on there is 11.64 for 8th grade, and 11.68 for 7th grade. This means that their average speed is about 8.6 meters per second. 8.6 meters per second is about 19 miles per hour.
Their maximum running distances for kids of different ages are as follows: Children under the age of 9: Can safely run 1.5 miles (though they don't list a minimum age, this should be limited to kids 7-8 years old).
The average nine year old runs a mile in ten and a half minutes, but can sprint for short distances at up to 15 miles per hour.
8-to 12-year-olds
Tweens' normal development changes allows them to adapt to longer training. This is an appropriate age group to safely participate in a 5K (3.10 miles).
boys. The maximum speed obtained by 10- 11yrs, 12-13yrs and 14-15yrs boys were 6.45m/sec, 6.77m/sec and 7.70 m/sec and average speed of all three group were 5.76m/sec, 6.01m/sec and 6.47m/sec respectively.
There's some asymmetry in their bodies – meaning legs are moving and performing differently – which also increases your child's injury risk. Insufficient strength or flexibility – muscles need strength to produce power for good, sustained function.
Age can influence how fast you run. Most runners reach their fastest speed between the ages of 18 and 30.
Children as young as four can take part in 5km parkruns (provided they run with an adult) while organisers of some longer distance races set no lower age limit and are attracting hoards of medal-hungry youngsters as a result.
The average running speed of a human being who is physically fit, no matter what their age is between 6.5 to 8 miles per hour.
Under 4 years old – 50m. Age 5-6 – 100m. Age 7-8 – 200m. Age 9-10 – 400m.
“Usually children are ready to start running longer distances—5 kilometer (5K) races, for example—between ages 8 and 10,” says Dr. Mark Halstead, a pediatric sports medicine specialist at Washington University in St.

Changes in top speed
In this study, 16 year olds were able to reach a maximum running speed of 26 kilometers per hour (3:45 per mile), while two year-olds and 10 year-olds were able to reach six (16:20 per mile) and 20 kilometers per hour (4:50 per mile), respectively.
