At the Earth's equator a person would have to run 1,037 miles/hour to keep up with the Sun. Obviously impossible

Mercury has an equatorial rotational velocity of 10.8Km/h so Mercury is a candidate.
Venus' is 6.53Km/h so lets include that.
Uranus rotates almost perpendicularly to the Sun so technically its not to hard to stay ahead of the sun.

I did some rough calculations....if a human could sustain a run of approximately 10 km/hr , they could keep up with the Sun if they were on the moon.

bodies in the solar system....I would say an asteroid - they are small enough that you could probably do a swift walk or slower to keep up

I am going to say Venus because it is the slowest rotating planet on the earth........ not sure though
