How long can gray wolves run?

Gray wolves can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) for short distances, typically around 300 yards. However, they are built for endurance rather than speed and can sustain a pace of about 5 miles per hour (8 kilometers per hour) over longer distances, allowing them to travel up to 12 miles (19 kilometers) in a single day while hunting or migrating. Their stamina enables them to cover vast territories in search of food and mates.
