Normally, Hermes would have the edge on the Flash (any incarnation), but I have to wonder in this scenario; if going by Forum Rules, the Greek Gods in DC aren't quite as up-to-snuff as they were even 10 years ago (RL time), so... I'm not sure. Black Flash might edge something out, in some weird metaphysical way.
That's a good question.
Looks like nobody has a real answer for you...

Depends on the gods. Some got weaker, but Aphrodite, Athena, and Ares got stronger as love and conflict remained in force. I think Hermes remained about the same.
Hermes has a lot more versatility going for him. He can project energy blasts, basically conjure stuff out of nowhere, super strength, durability, etc.
I can't really say who would win in any case because I'm not terribly familiar with Runner aside from the blitz scene with Thanos and the gems. I will say that Hermes has way more going for him than sheer speed, though.
That's unfortunately not as true as statement as it once was (right now, out of those three deities, only Aphrodite is in remotely good condition/state of being); I get what you're saying, but in DC the Greek Gods have been having their collective ass's handed to them for a number of years now (I mean, getting ganked by Granny Goodness is one of the all-time lows that can happen to somebody, and really lets you know you aren't what you used to be... -- As a sidenote to that, I really think Granny's "impersonation" of Athena was handled very poorly: Diana, upon laying eyes on "Athena" should have known immediately something was wrong, at the very least, if not out-right knowing it wasn't her, not merely because of Diana's ability to discern truth, but because of her very deep connection to Athena, directly. But anywho... )

Also I recall that once Wally outran the Black Flash by leaving the universe/timestream completely and entering a void where Death doesn't exist as a concept.
Then how'd he chase Wally through time?
You have to go faster than light to timetravel.
Black Racer however has been foiled by going ftl on a couple of occasions. First in Jack Kirby's Fourth World, when Lightray did it, and then in Final Crisis, when they basically made an homage to it.
