Running Pace

Calculate average running pace per kilometer and average speed from distance and time.

How this calculator works

Enter the values for first value, second value and review the units before calculating.

Formula / method

Pace = elapsed time ÷ distance; speed = distance ÷ time

Worked example

Running 5 km in 30 minutes gives a 6:00 min/km pace and 10 km/h speed.

Assumptions and limitations

Distance is measured in kilometers and elapsed time excludes pauses unless intentionally included.

Average pace does not describe hills, intervals, terrain or race conditions.
