BBC Nature - How do you build a dinosaur?
"An average human who can run about 15 miles an hour would probably be a pretty good match for a skinnier version of a T. rex."
BBC Nature - How do you build a dinosaur?
Dr Hutchinson says: "We've found using our computer models that a human sprinter which can do 25 miles an hour (40km/h) or a little faster would probably be pretty well matched for a muscular Tyrannosaurus.
BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - T.rex - Warrior or Wimp?
Dr Hutchinson’s work suggests that an upper speed limit for T. rex would fall in the 10-25mph range.

Tyrannosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most recent research on Tyrannosaurus locomotion does not support speeds faster than 40 kilometres per hour (25 mph), i.e. moderate-speed running.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Probably Could Not Run Fast, Scientists Say
"Our model shows that these really fast speeds of 50 miles an hour and probably down to even 25 miles an hour just don't hold up when you really scrutinize them and look at the physics," Hutchinson says.

Additionally, some have argued that Tyrannosaurus had relatively larger leg muscles than any animal alive today, which could have enabled fast running 40–70 kilometres per hour (25–43 mph).
