That's slow on an interstellar scale for speed. A scarce fraction of the speed of light.

Even at the distance where we are from the center of Milky Way the escape velocity is still over 500 km/s and if I remember the number of detected objects that are on trajectory to escape our galaxy can be counted on the fingers of your hands.
