10K Pace Calculator
The pace per kilometre and per mile you need for any 10K target time — for example 5:00/km (8:03/mile) for a 50-minute 10K. An exact pace calculation; even pacing is the fastest way to hit it.
Target time for a 10K (10 km / 6.21 miles).

Required pace
5:00 /km · 8:03 /mile
That is 12.00 km/h (7.46 mph). Hold this pace evenly — even pacing is the fastest way to hit a target time.

Formula & source — Pace — exact arithmetic
Pace per km = total time ÷ distance in km. Pace per mile = total time ÷ distance in miles. Speed = distance ÷ time. These are exact calculations, not estimates — your splits will vary with hills, wind and pacing.
