Reading the recent news on the new dinosaur tracks in the UK got me wondering. What is the current trackway evidence for large theropods?

I am aware of only two trackways of running large theropods, this recent British study quotes 30 km/hour and Kuban, 1989, quotes 36 km/hr for a trackway in Glen Rose, Texas.

Follow-Ups:
- footprint fallacies (was "Large theropod speed record")
