Pace Calculator
Calculate running pace, speed and finish time for any distance.
What is Pace Calculator?
A pace calculator converts your running or walking time and distance into a pace per kilometre or mile, and estimates finish times for common race distances.
Pace is the key metric for runners — it lets you plan race strategy and training intensity.
How does the Pace Calculator work?
The calculator divides the total time by the distance to get minutes per km.
It then projects finish times for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon.
How to use the Pace Calculator?
- Enter the distance and time taken.
