10K Pace Calculator
Convert a 10K goal time into per-kilometer or per-mile pace, then compare it with nearby race equivalents and interval split targets.
Use 10K presets to compare race goals from 35 minutes through 65 minutes.
Check the 5K equivalent if you are sharpening speed before a longer race block.
Switch units when you need both metric splits and mile-based training paces.

Frequently asked questions
What pace is a 50 minute 10K?
A 50 minute 10K is exactly 5:00 per kilometer, or about 8:03 per mile.
How do I pace a 10K evenly?
Start close to goal pace for the first 2-3 kilometers, settle through the middle, then increase effort if you are still controlled late in the race.
Can I convert 10K pace to marathon pace?
You can estimate an equivalent marathon result, but the marathon requires more endurance and fueling, so treat it as a guide rather than a guarantee.
