Formulas
Arithmetic, not physiology. Distance is locked at 5.000 km (3.10686 mi). Pace = time / distance. This is even pace, not race-equivalence. For a 5K→marathon estimate, use the race time predictor (Riegel).
- pace = time / 5.000 km
- 5K = 5.000 km = 3.10685596 mi
- 1 mile = 1.609344 km

FAQ
What pace is a 25-minute 5K?
A 25:00 5K is 8:03 per mile, or 5:00 per kilometer, at even pace. That is 5.000 km in 25 minutes on the international mile (1.609344 km). Load the 25:00 chip to see the giant pace and splits.
What pace is a 20-minute 5K?
A 20:00 5K is 6:26 per mile, or 4:00 per kilometer, at even pace. The 20:00 chip fills the goal time and updates live.
How many miles is a 5K?
A 5K is 5.000 kilometers, which is 3.11 miles (exactly 3.10685596 mi using 1 mile = 1.609344 km). SplitLab locks this page to that distance so a 25:00 finish is 8:03/mi, not a guess from a rounded 3.1.
How do I run even 5K splits?
Hit each kilometer in the same time. A 25:00 5K is 5:00 per km: 5:00, 10:00, 15:00, 20:00, 25:00. Mile clocks land at about 8:03, 16:06, and 24:09, then 51 seconds to the line. A slight negative split runs the first 2.5 km about 3% slower than even and the second 2.5 km about 3% faster; finish time still matches the goal.
Does this predict my marathon?
No. This page is even-pace arithmetic for 5.000 km. It does not estimate a marathon, half, or 10K from a 5K. For that fatigue-based estimate, use the race time predictor (Riegel).
