Use this 5K pace calculator to see how long it will take you to finish a 5K at a given running or walking pace. To use the calculator, just enter your expected pace per mile or kilometer and then hit the calculate button. The table will then generate your 5K finish times as well as times slightly faster or slower. You can then use these times to plan out the pacing for your upcoming 5K. Read more...

A 5K is 3.1 miles long. The "K" or "km" stands for kilometers. Each kilometer is 1,000 meters while a mile is 5,280 feet.
5K races are held at most times of the year throughout the world. The 5K distance is the most popular for races. You can find a 5K race easily just with a Google search for "5K races near me."
There are also web sites that list 5K races and other distances at different times of the year in different areas. Check out findarace.com, letsdothis.com or ahotu.com for races in Europe.
If you've never run a 5K before, check out our Couch to 5K Training Plan. The 5K Plan is free to download and print and takes 8-9 weeks to go from start to running your first 5K.
The calories you burn running a 5K varies from person to person. A person's weight, age and their speed will determine how many calories they burn. Try our Calories Burned Calculator to enter your info and see how many calories you would burn running a 5K or other distances.
Here's an example: A person who weights 165lbs and runs a 5K in 35 minutes would burn approximately 388 calories--that's a burn rate of 78 calories per mile and 665 calories per hour.

The main reason runners use a pace calculator is to find out how fast they need to run in order to achieve their race finish time goal.
You can also use this pace calculator to see how long it will take you to finish a race at different paces.
For example, if you are going to run a 5K, you can use the calculator to find out what your finish time would be--at say a 10:00 minute pace -- which would be 31:04.
You can also see how much faster your finish time would be at various paces by using the pace table which lists faster and slower paces in 15 second intervals.
To calculate your running pace, use this formula:
Pace = Time / Distance
Stated another way, divide your run time by the distance.
Here are a few examples:
