Electrons do travel slowly through electrical wires. This is due to the mechanics of how electrons "move" through the wires. Also, electrons only really "move" in DC currents, AC current involves the electrons moving back and forth over the same region (ie: no net movement). So yes, you can easily outrun electricity in a wire (put that on your resume). See two related articles:
