Even pace, 2:00:00–6:30:00
Marathon pace chart
Fifty-five finish times, five minutes apart. Pace is shown per mile and per kilometer. Open a row for the full even splits, including the last 0.195 km and 0.2188 mi. For a negative split, use the marathon pace calculator. The half marathon pace chart covers 1:00:00 to 3:30:00.

Chart splits are even pace. The finish row of each table is the final 0.195 km or 0.2188 mi. Negative splits are in the calculator. The highlighted pace column follows min/mi or min/km. Copy on a row shares that finish time with the pace unit you are viewing, and a negative split when the address already has one. A finish time in the address, such as t=3-30, marks that row. Split tables load when the row is opened.
How the pace math works
Every result on this site uses the same three relationships. Distances are fixed for the standard races. One mile is 1.609344 kilometers.
| To find | Formula | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | time ÷ distance | Seconds per kilometer or per mile |
| Time | pace × distance | Finish time, or the time at any marker |
| Distance | time ÷ pace | How far a pace takes you in a given time |
| min/mi from min/km | pace per km × 1.609344 | 1 mile = 1.609344 km |
| min/km from min/mi | pace per mile ÷ 1.609344 | Same constant, the other way |
| Even split | pace × distance so far | Cumulative time is rounded to the nearest second |
| Negative split | first half = (T + Δ) / 2, second half = (T − Δ) / 2 | Δ is how many seconds the second half is faster. The switch is at half the distance. |
Worked example: 3:30:00 marathon
| Marker | Distance | Clock |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | 4:58.6/km · 8:00.6/mi | 3:30:00 |
| 5K | 5 km | 24:53 |
| 10K | 10 km | 49:46 |
| Half | 21.0975 km · 13.1094 mi | 1:45:00 |
| 30K | 30 km | 2:29:18 |
| Finish | 42.195 km · 26.2188 mi | 3:30:00 |
| Last kilometer split | 0.195 km | After the 42 km mark |
| Last mile split | 0.2188 mi | After the 26 mile mark |
Questions about the marathon pace chart
How do I read the marathon pace chart?
Each row is one even-pace marathon, from 2:00:00 to 6:30:00, five minutes apart. Minutes per mile and minutes per kilometer sit next to the clock at 5K, 10K, halfway, and 30K. Open a row for every kilometer and every mile. The last row of those splits is the remainder after 42 km and after 26 miles.
What distance does this marathon pace chart use?
Every row uses 42.195 km, which is 26.2188 miles. Pace is the finish time divided by that distance. The same three relationships — pace, time, and distance — are written out in the formula table on this page.
Why is the last marathon split 0.195 km or 0.2188 miles?
A marathon is not 42 even kilometers or 26 even miles. After 42 km, 195 meters remain. After 26 miles, 0.2188 miles remain. The finish split is that remainder, so the kilometer rows and the mile rows each add up to the full race.
Are the marathon pace chart splits even pace?
Yes. This chart holds the pace constant from the start to the finish. Split clocks are the cumulative time rounded to the nearest second, so the pieces add up to the finish time on that row. A faster second half is not in the chart. Set that margin in the marathon pace calculator.
Where do I calculate one marathon time or a negative split?
Use the marathon pace calculator. It solves pace, time, or distance, and it can make the second half faster by a margin you choose. A finish time on this chart, such as 3:30:00, also has its own page at /marathon-pace/3-30. The half marathon has a separate chart from 1:00:00 to 3:30:00.
