10K Pace Calculator
Turn a 10K goal time into the pace per kilometre and per mile it takes, or a pace into the finish at that constant pace, over exactly 10 km. The splits table lists every kilometre or mile at an even pace, and the chart under the tool runs from 30:00 to 1:30:00 in steps of two and a half minutes so a target can be read straight off the page.

Time reads as h:mm:ss or mm:ss, pace as m:ss, and a bare number is minutes. Changing a unit converts the value with it, and Race sets the official distance: a half marathon is 21.0975 km, not 21.1.
Splits
Every km at an even 5:00 per km, then the finish.

Common questions
- What pace is a 50-minute 10K?
- 5:00 per kilometre, or 8:03 per mile: 3,000 seconds over 10 km. A 45-minute 10K needs 4:30 per km (7:15 per mile) and a one-hour 10K needs 6:00 per km (9:39 per mile). Each of these is a row in the chart under the tool.
- How many miles is a 10K?
- 6.2137 miles. Switch the distance unit seg to mi and the field converts to that figure, and the splits table changes to a row per mile with a finish row for the last 0.21 of a mile. Typing 6.2 instead gives a course about 22 metres short.
- Can I work out my 10K time from a 5K time?
- You can calculate the finish if the same pace were held for 10 km: solve pace over 5 km, then solve time over 10 km. That is constant-pace arithmetic. It is not a race prediction or training recommendation.
- Are the splits even?
- Yes. Each whole kilometre or mile takes the same time; the final row covers the remaining fraction. These are constant-pace calculations. Negative splits, changing pace and run/walk intervals are not modeled.
- What range does the 10K chart cover?
- Finish times from 30:00 to 1:30:00, every two and a half minutes. Each row divides the finish time by 10 km for the pace per kilometre, converts it to a pace per mile, and gives the equivalent speed in km/h and mph. The row nearest the time in the calculator is highlighted.
Constant-pace arithmetic from supplied numbers, using browser numeric precision. Clocks round to seconds, distances to four decimals and speeds to two; conversions retain unrounded values. A half marathon is 21.0975 km.
