Pre Flashpoint he outruns a flying Angel (the same kind of Angel that Zauriel is). And Zauriel has at least hypersonic speeds if I remeber correctly.
Aquaman, even pre Flashpoint doesn't usually run per se, but leaps and charges at superspeed. Like in the New 52, where he tackles WW and then again Ocean Master a couple of times. In the first issue of New 52 Aquaman leaps from the port of Boston to the bank district in a couple of seconds and intercepts a moving armored car. That distance is between 8 to 10 kms and he jumps there immediatelly because he hears the sirens of the police car that is chasing the armored car. That would put his jumps at high hypersonic speeds (Mach 10 at minimum), which is later shown again in Rebirth when he cathes a falling helicopter, the helicopter is 3 to 4 meters away from crushing to the ground and Aquaman is far away on the distance (like 50 meters or something), but manages to leap and catch it before it crashes.
So even though his best feats are swimming feats, he is still one of the fastest DC characters on land. Not as fast as the Flashes or The Ray, but much faster than most other Earth, non flying characters.
