3. Click the “Key Bindings” button.
4. In the left-hand menu, ensure “Movement Keys” has been selected.
5. Find the “Toggle Run/Walk” command and any keys bound to it.
6. If you’d like, change the key(s) bound to this command.
7. Click the “Okay” button.
8. Use your new key bindings (or preexisting ones) to switch between running and walking.

Can You Sprint in WoW?
Although Rogues are technically the only class that have the Sprint ability, other classes can use items, abilities, and talents to move faster than the default run speed of 100%.
To make your character run faster,
- Use a class ability like Sprint or Death’s Advance.
- Use a talent like Wraith Walk.
- Ride one of your mounts.
- Use a consumable like a Swiftness Potion.
- Equip gear with the Speed stat.
