About YourMarathonPace
Free marathon pace tools, plus a curated list of famous people's marathon times, with each time labelled by how well it's been checked.
Who runs the site
YourMarathonPace is an independent website maintained by Will Willaston. It isn't affiliated with any race organiser, governing body or athlete. Questions and corrections go to betiwill@live.com.
What's here
- Pace tools: pace charts, calculators, a marathon predictor and goal-time guides. Their figures are calculated from the exact race distance (42.195 km).
- Famous marathon times: 356 runners, including 312 celebrities and public figures and 44 professional runners, grouped into 10 category and race lists.
- Training guides: general information, clearly labelled where it hasn't been reviewed by a coach.
Our list is not the official record
Our list is a curated collection put together from public sources. It's not an official results database, and race organisers' own results always take priority. Every time is labelled: Official (a race or governing body publishes it, with a link), Reported (a reputable publication states the exact time) or Unverified (not yet matched to a source). Today 4 times are official, 6 are reported and 346 are unverified. See how we verify times.
How the site makes money
Some shoe and book links are affiliate links (Amazon), and the site uses Google advertising tags. These never affect which runners are listed or how a time is labelled.
