Running Pace Calculator
Work out pace, finish time or distance for any run — with race presets and splits.
Your pace
| Km | Split time |

Pace vs speed: runners usually talk in pace — minutes per kilometre or mile — while speed is distance per hour. Even splits (the same pace every kilometre) are usually the fastest way to race; the split table shows where you should be at each marker to finish on time.
About the Running Pace Calculator
The Running Pace Calculator works out your pace from a distance and finish time, your finish time from a pace, or the distance you will cover — in kilometres or miles. Race presets cover the 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, and a split table shows where you should be at every kilometre or mile.
