Trail Pace Calculator

About this calculator

Pace — time per unit distance, expressed as minutes and seconds per kilometer or mile — is simply your total elapsed time divided by the distance covered, and it's the inverse of speed (distance divided by time). For trail running or hiking, where terrain and elevation change constantly, pace over a full route is usually far less even than on a flat road, so a single average figure is a useful summary even though it hides a lot of variation.

This calculator takes your trail distance and elapsed time and returns both your pace per kilometer/mile and your average speed. Trail runners and hikers use it after a run to log training data and track fitness trends, or before an event to estimate finishing time on a course of known length based on a target or previous pace.
