Enter your anticipated pace per mile/km for the marathon in the Expected Pace box. Click the Calculate Finish Time button and the Marathon Pace Chart will generate your marathon finish time based on your input. The pace chart also displays times faster or slower in increments of 15 seconds so you can see how going slightly faster or slower might impact your marathon time.

The main reason runners use a marathon pace calculator is to find out how fast they need to run in order to achieve their race finish time goal.
For example, if your goal is to run a marathon in under 4 hours, you would use the pace calculator to determine the pace you need to run in order to achieve that goal.
So if your pace during training has been consistently 9:00 minutes per mile, entering that time into the calculator would show that at a 9:00 per mile pace, your marathon finish time would be 3:55:58 -- comfortably under your sub-4 hour goal!
The pace calculator also makes it easy to play around with different paces to see how they impact your overall time. Just seeing the difference in finish times between a 7:50 and 8:00 pace per mile marathon time can give you perspective on the impact of raising or lowering your marathon pace.
To calculate your running pace, use this formula:
Pace = Time / Distance
Stated another way, divide your run time in minutes by the distance.
Here are a few examples:
According to statistics compiled by RunRepeat of runners worldwide, the average marathon finish time for men is 4:21:03 while the average marathon finish time for women is 4:48:45.
Here are the average marathon finish times broken down by age as compiled by researches at RunnerClick using data available from 2014 to 2017.
