Drag. This is the force which acts against a runner and is the resultant force of the runner pushing against the particles in the air. Drag is affected by the mass and surface area of the runner. Friction is another force which can affect running.
Running height has no known affect on speed. Running economy is the most important factor. The more efficient a runner is with stride rate or turnover the faster the runner will be. Heart rate training also plays a big role in speed and efficiency. http://www.givenbrand.com/timex.html has inofrmation on what role heart rate plays on speed and endurance.
There is not currently a 'Maze Runner' movie
Roadrunner is a species of bird in the genus Geococcyx. It does fully exist, and that's what the cartoon road runner has to be based on despite its tallness and speed. Also, a coyote is much smaller than an ostrich and much bigger than a rabbit, but it's a cartoon and does not need to make sense.
There are no elderly in the Maze Runner.

density
Yes, different surfaces can affect a runner's speed. Soft surfaces like grass or sand can slow down a runner due to increased resistance. Hard surfaces like pavement or track can be faster for running as they provide better energy return and responsiveness.
