5K Pace Chart

The pace per mile and per kilometer you need for every 5k finish time from 15:00 to 50:00, plus a calculator for any goal.

How it's calculated

Pace = finish time ÷ distance. The 5k is 3.10686 miles (5.000 km). Run even splits at this pace to hit the goal; most runners start a few seconds slower and finish faster.

Example

A 25:00 5k needs 8:03 per mile (5:00 per km).
