MARATHON · 42.195 KM · 26.2188 MI

Marathon pace chart

A marathon is 42.195 km (26.2188 miles), so your pace is the goal time divided by that distance. A 4:00:00 marathon needs an average of 9:09 per mile (5:41 per km); a 3:30:00 is 8:01 per mile (4:59 per km) and a 5:00:00 is 11:27 per mile (7:07 per km). The chart covers every minute from 2:00:00 to 7:00:00, and its cumulative checkpoints are rounded from the same even-pace plan.

Why a row for every minute

A 3:58:00 marathon and a 4:00:00 marathon are 4 seconds a mile apart: 9:05 against 9:09 per mile. A chart that steps every 5 minutes leaves you to work out the paces in between. This one has a row for every minute from 2:00:00 to 7:00:00, in miles and kilometres, with the 5 km timing-mat times, halfway and 20 miles, and every goal opens its full split plan. For the highlighted 4:00:00 row, the last 0.2188 miles after mile 26 take 2:00, so your mile-26 target is 3:58:00.

Paces that actually finish under the goal

Rounded paces can land a few seconds over a round-number goal. These are the slowest whole-second paces that still get under it.

Boston qualifying works the same way, because a qualifier has to finish at or under the age-group standard. The Boston standards page gives the slowest pace that meets each one.

Marathon pace by finish time: miles and kilometres

Find your goal finish time in the first column, then read across: average pace per mile and per kilometre, then the race clock at each 5 km mat, halfway, 20 miles and the finish. Those are cumulative times, so you never add them up. Every row uses the full 42.195 km at an even pace.

Marathon goal-time chart: pace per mile, pace per km, cumulative 5 km checkpoints, halfway, 20 miles and finish. Every time is an even-pace clock time.

How to read this chart

Use the highlighted 4:00:00 row as a worked example: run at 9:09 per mile (5:41 per km), reach 5 km at 0:28:26, halfway at 2:00:00, 20 miles at 3:03:05, and the finish at 4:00:00. They are calculated requirements for an even pace, not a prediction of what your current fitness, course or conditions will produce. The table assumes continuous running; if you plan walk breaks, use the run/walk calculator, and use the pace converter when you need another unit or speed.

NYC Marathon 2026: the course, bridge by bridge

The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon is on Sunday, November 1, with the first start at 8:00 a.m. The course runs through all five boroughs and crosses five bridges, from Staten Island to the finish in Central Park. For the first time in 15 years, NYRR has changed the route: a short detour in the Bronx between the Willis Avenue and Madison Avenue bridges. Here is where the climbs fall, from NYRR's course notes and Meb Keflezighi's mile-by-mile tips on nyrr.org.

How to pace the NYC course (our guidance)

These are suggestions, not NYRR rules. They follow how NYRR's own pace team says it runs the race: a conservative start, then a consistent effort instead of a perfectly even pace, so the hills cost a little time and the flat miles give it back.

For your own goal, the marathon split calculator gives every mile, and the printable pace band puts those splits on your wrist for race day.

Exact splits for a 4:00:00 marathon

Every mile and every 5 km timing mat, with the finish as the last row. Each segment is a whole number of seconds and every checkpoint is within half a second of the exact even-pace time, so the list ends on 4:00:00, not a second either side. The last row covers 0.2188 mi.

Why 42.195 km, not 42 km or 26.2 miles

The marathon is 26 miles 385 yards. Rounding it to 26.2 miles drops 0.0188 mi (30 m), which is about 10 seconds at 4-hour pace; rounding to 42 km drops 195 m, which is over a minute. Courses are certified on the shortest possible route, so your watch will usually show a longer distance. Use the elapsed time at the mile or kilometre markers to pace yourself.

Print this page with your browser (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P): menus drop out and the tables print. For a strip to wear on race day, the printable pace band puts your splits on a 40 × 240 mm band with a 50 mm ruler to check the print scale. Planning to use run/walk intervals or run a negative split? Use the marathon split calculator.
