Want to keep track of what friends or family are doing during a marathon? By using our marathon pace guide, you’ll be able to estimate when your loved one will reach various race milestones.
This Spectator Marathon Running Pace Chart will tell you your ETA for each mile phase based on the pace you expect your runners to run at. You’ll be able to find the people you’re watching and cheer them on when it really matters.
All you need to know is the participant’s estimated race time to understand when they expect to reach each mile marker in the race.
Note that the example start time used in the table is 9 AM. If the marathon you want to watch starts at a different time, you should adjust the hour units in the table accordingly.

If your race is tracking runners in kilometers, then you’ll need to convert distance milestones from miles to kilometers, remembering that 1 kilometer is equivalent to 0.6214 miles. If you want to know when someone is likely to reach the 10 km mark, then 10 x 0.6214 = 6.214 miles, so the time you look up in the table will be shortly after the time specified for the 6 mile mark.
