How to use this calculator
- Enter the distance (km) and your average paddling speed (km/h).
- Read the estimated time and pace per km.
How it works
Time = (distance ÷ speed) × 3600 seconds. Real time depends on current, wind, tide and conditions.
Worked example
12 km paddle. 12 km at 6 km/h = 2:00:00.
Tips
- Times are estimates only — not medical or coaching advice. Always train safely and follow event rules.
- Distances are editable: choose “Custom…” to enter your own course lengths.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include current?
Use your expected speed over ground. Paddling against current or wind can cut that dramatically.
