It would depend on HOW FAR the run was. Higher gravity would give you better traction and leverage for acceleration from a start. But under 1G, fatigue tends to be an ever increasing factor as the length of the run increases, thus the faster runs would occur in lower acceleration environments. Also, you would encounter diminishing beyond a certain point with both high G sprints and low G marathons. You can't run if you can't stand up, and you can't run if your feet don't stay close enough to the ground.

@quentinbell5617 Yes, I've wondered if Mars or the Moon (or the "upper" (inner) levels of a rotating space habitat might be an excellent environment for some of the non-ambulatory. Some would be enabled to walk there (the fear that they would be disabled on Earth is not an issue since they are already disabled on Earth). Even if they are still bedridden, they won't be as prone to bed sores. Some might even be able to hold down a job there.
