Race Prediction Calculator


Use this race prediction calculator to set realistic running goals. As with any prediction tool, it is not an exact science but it should give you a good idea for the approximate time to aim for.

There are many prediction formulas out there, but please do not limit or over-extend your capabilities based on this. You'll often see a predict-your-time 5k race prior to many marathons, as this has proven to be a reliable indicator for many distance runners.

If you haven't run any of the three race distances listed under 'Base Distances', go to the track and do a self time-trial. Remember that one lap around the track is 400 meters.

Goals that are too easy or too hard can deflate our ego and detract from our momentum. So now that you have a realistic target, set your goal and pursue it to the best of your ability. Race Time Predictor
