About the Pace Calculator

Enter a distance and the time it took to get your pace per kilometre and per mile, plus your speed. A straightforward math tool for runners and walkers — no health claims.

How it’s calculated

Pace = time ÷ distance; speed = distance ÷ time. The calculator converts between km and miles automatically.

Example calculation

5 km in 25 minutes is a pace of 5:00 per kilometre (about 8:03 per mile), or 12 km/h.

Frequently asked questions

How do I hit a target race time?

Divide your goal time by the race distance to get the pace you need to hold. Enter that pace in training runs to rehearse it.

Does it work for walking or cycling?

Yes — it's pure distance and time, so it works for any activity, though the per-mile and per-km framing is most common for running and walking.
