People are saying that Surfer is a non-factor because Runner has beaten him in speed. Surfer has travelled several thousand light years in a blink of an eye (during IG when he tried to snatch the gauntlet from Thanos). So that's billions to trillions times faster than the speed of light, and yet the Runner was even faster than that.
In regards to the fatigue statement, the Surfer does not need to eat or sleep, and will not run out of energy from flying. If he uses a huge expenditure of energy doing a blast or what not he will become tired, but he won't tire from conventional travel and has no need to eat, sleep or rest. His body is entirely sealed and is self-sustained on cosmic energy that is ambient throughout the universe. As he travels he naturally collects it, so there is no need to pause to get it back, it comes back just by moving around.
There was a comic in the silver surfer arc where he was stuck in a city that limited cosmic radiation and he slowly lost his cosmic power. He was instantly restored to full strength the moment they jettisoned him into space.
If he is in a huge battle and is knocked out, then it will take time to recover as he has suffered injuries or exhausted his power, but he will never fatigue from simple travel alone, as the majority of work is done by his surfboard which requires no extra energy to use.
