Many adult giraffes can run as fast as 30 - 35 miles per hour over short distances. That's just about as fast as a chasing lion can run. A giraffe would not likely be running so fast unless necessary to escape a predator. Giraffes run extending both front legs together and then both back legs, very differently from the way they walk. Please see the accompanying link for many fascinating facts about giraffes.
