Pace Converter

The Pace Converter is a free online tool that converts running or cycling pace between minutes per kilometer and minutes per mile instantly. No sign-up needed — enter your pace, choose your units, and get an accurate result. It's a go-to tool for runners comparing race results, coaches building training plans, and anyone switching between metric and imperial distances.

What is a pace converter?

Pace measures how long it takes to cover a distance, and it's the go-to metric for runners, cyclists, and coaches. Race results and training apps sometimes use kilometers and other times use miles, so this tool helps you translate your pace between the two systems without manual math mid-workout. Many GPS watches and race organizers default to one unit system or the other, so this tool helps you stay consistent across your training log.

How to use the Pace Converter

1. Enter your pace value (minutes and seconds).
2. Select the unit to convert from — minutes per kilometer or minutes per mile.
3. Click Calculate to see your pace in the other unit.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Pace Converter free?

Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up required. Convert as many pace values as you need — there's no limit or sign-up required.

How do I convert min/mile to min/km?

Since one mile is about 1.609 kilometers, divide your minutes-per-mile pace by 1.609 to get minutes per kilometer. The reverse works the same way: multiply your minutes-per-km pace by 1.609 to get minutes per mile.

Is pace the same as speed?

Pace and speed describe the same effort from different angles: pace is time per distance, while speed is distance per time. Knowing both helps when comparing your results against friends or race data reported in a different unit.

Can this help with race training plans?

Yes, converting your target pace helps you follow training plans or race splits published in a different unit system. It's especially handy when a training plan is written in miles but your watch or app tracks kilometers.
