5K pace chart

A 5K is 5 km (3.1069 miles), so pace per km is your goal divided by five. A 25:00 5K needs an average of 8:03 per mile (5:00 per km), 30:00 is 9:39 per mile (6:00 per km) and 20:00 is 6:26 per mile (4:00 per km). The chart lists goals in 30-second steps from 15:00 to 60:00, so walkers are covered too.

A 5K is not 3.1 miles

We read the top 5 US and UK results for “5k pace chart” on 24 September 2026. One chart treats the mile as 1600 m, one uses 3.1 miles (so 25:00 shows 8:04 per mile instead of 8:03), and none gives the 0.1069 miles after mile 3 as a separate split. At 25:00, that last stretch takes 52 seconds, so mile 3 should read 24:08.
