Running Pace Converter
Convert running pace between min/mile and min/km and see speed in mph and km/h.
Calculate finish times for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon.
Running pace is typically expressed as minutes per mile (min/mi) or minutes per kilometer (min/km). Converting between the two is essential for runners using international race results or training plans.
Conversion formulas:
min/km = min/mi x 0.6214
min/mi = min/km x 1.6093
To convert pace to speed:
Speed (mph) = 60 / pace (min/mi)
Speed (km/h) = 60 / pace (min/km)
Common pace reference table:
| Pace (min/mi) | Pace (min/km) | Speed (mph) | Speed (km/h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6:00 | 3:43 | 10.0 | 16.1 |
| 7:00 | 4:21 | 8.6 | 13.8 |
| 8:00 | 4:58 | 7.5 | 12.1 |
| 9:00 | 5:35 | 6.7 | 10.7 |
| 10:00 | 6:13 | 6.0 | 9.7 |
| 11:00 | 6:50 | 5.5 | 8.8 |
| 12:00 | 7:27 | 5.0 | 8.0 |
Race finish time estimates: Once you know your pace, multiply by race distance:
- 5K = 3.107 miles / 5 km
- 10K = 6.214 miles / 10 km
- Half Marathon = 13.109 miles / 21.097 km
- Marathon = 26.219 miles / 42.195 km
What affects pace: Training level, terrain, elevation, weather conditions, and fatigue all influence your pace. A 30-60 second per mile difference between training pace and race pace is normal.
