Quick Presets
Our free Pace Calculator helps runners determine their pace, speed, and total finish time for any distance. Whether you’re preparing for a 5K, half marathon, or a marathon, knowing your pace is essential for tracking performance, planning workouts, and improving results over time.
How the Pace Calculator Works
The Pace Calculator uses a simple formula: Pace = Time ÷ Distance.
For example, running 10 km in 50 minutes gives a pace of 5:00 per km. The calculator also converts pace into speed (km/h or mph) and can estimate finish times for different distances. It works not only for running but also for walking, jogging, or cycling.
