Yes but only a few which are primarily land based, and capable of covering ground as well as a kangaroo or human. Emus, ostriches, and a few others.

In terms of covering ground kangaroos have some impressive statistics. Interestingly kangaroos don't run, they jump. Kangaroos are recognized in the jumping category as the best jumpers in the world. They can spend more than 30 minutes jumping as they have excellent resistance and know how to manage their energy well.
