How fast can a millipede run?

The speed of millipedes varies among different species, but in general, they are not very fast runners. Most species of millipedes move at a speed of around 0.5 to 2 inches per second (1.3 to 5.1 centimeters per second). Some millipedes, such as the giant African millipede, can move slightly faster, reaching speeds of up to 4 inches per second (10.2 centimeters per second). However, these speeds are still relatively slow compared to many other animals.
