Depends where you are
At the equator 1000mph, at the North pole you just turn round.

That is, if the North Pole was the absolute "up", which it isn't.

You can work it out.

Earth's Circumference: 40,075.02 KM (equatorial) [thx Google]
40,075.02 km / 1.609 = 24906.787 miles
24906.787 / 24 hours = 1037.78mph

It is the magnetic pole yes. It isn't the point of the Earths axis though.
