5K Pace Charts

The 5 kilometer race is the shortest event amongst the more common road running distances, and therefore serves as a gateway to the world of running for beginners and amateurs to the sport (couch to 5k programs, parkrun…). Elites will run the whole distance on the redline, current world records stand at 12:49 for men (Berihu Aregawi) and 14:19 for women (Ejgayehu Taye). That’s an insane 2:34 and 2:52 KM per minute pace!
