The final 1.0975 km that most half marathon charts skip
Your race isn't over at the last whole mile or timing mat. The final row gives the remaining stretch its own split, so you can follow the plan all the way to the finish.
Here's what the chart check found:
- Results checked: the top 5 US and UK results for “half marathon pace chart”, 24 September 2026.
- None gave the stretch after the last whole mile or the 20 km mat its own split; one calculator used 21.1 km for the race distance.
Final stretches for a 2:00:00 goal at even pace:
- From 20 km to the finish: 1.0975 km in 6:15.
- After mile 13: 0.1094 mi in 1:00.
Paces that actually finish under the goal
A rounded pace won't always get you under the goal. If you're aiming to finish strictly before it, use the slowest whole-second paces in this table.
- Sub-2 example: 9:09 per mile or faster; 9:10 per mile finishes in 2:00:10.
| Under | /mi | Finish | /km | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:30:00 | 6:51 | 1:29:47 | 4:15 | 1:29:39 |
| 1:45:00 | 8:00 | 1:44:52 | 4:58 | 1:44:47 |

Half marathon pace chart, 1:00:00 to 3:15:00
Find your goal in the first column, then read across for pace per mile, pace per kilometre and halfway time. Each pace is your goal time divided by the full race distance and rounded to the nearest second.
Chart details and example paces:
- Race distance: 21.0975 km (13.1094 miles).
- Goal range: 1:00:00 to 3:15:00, in 5-minute steps.
- 2:00:00 goal: 9:09 per mile (5:41 per km).
- 1:45:00 goal: 8:01 per mile (4:59 per km).
- 2:30:00 goal: 11:27 per mile (7:07 per km).
For a worked example, use the highlighted row. Its halfway time is exactly half the goal because the chart assumes even pace. Select that goal for splits every mile, every km or every 5 km.

Exact splits for a 2:00:00 half marathon
Read the Elapsed column as the time on your race clock when you reach each checkpoint, and the Segment column as the time for the stretch since the previous one. Don't add the elapsed times together.
The two tables show every 5 km timing mat and every mile, including the final stretch. Each checkpoint is within half a second of the exact even-pace time, and both tables end on 2:00:00.
