Free Trail Running Calculators
Calculators grounded in published research where cited.
Where to start
First mountain race
Learn pace, estimate finish time, plan checkpoints, then fuel and conditions.
Target race weekend
Pick your race, estimate finish time, plan against barriers, then fuel.
Pacing & time
Incline Calculator
Convert trail gradients between %, degrees, ratio, and rise/run. See the Minetti energy cost and power hike threshold.
Race Time Predictor
Predict your trail race finish time using ITRA km-effort, ultra fatigue modeling, and terrain multipliers.
Pace Converter
Convert running pace between min/km, min/mi, km/h, and mph. Includes a splits table with trail distances up to 100km.
GAP Calculator
Find your grade-adjusted pace for any slope. Two modes: discover your flat effort equivalent, or target a pace at a given gradient.
Effort & index
Race Effort Estimator
Calculate your ITRA km-effort and unofficial performance score for any race result. See your indicative UTMB stone tier.
ITRA Score & UTMB Index Estimator
Estimate the performance index range (0-1000) a trail race result produces - ITRA score and UTMB Index style - from distance, elevation gain, and finish time.
Nutrition & hydration
Nutrition Calculator
Get hourly calorie, carbohydrate, fluid, and sodium targets for your trail race. Adjusts for intensity, heat, and altitude.
Drink Mix Builder
Build a custom sports drink from bulk ingredients. See glucose:fructose ratio, osmolality, and concentration in real time. Load brand presets to understand what commercial products contain.
Course & race prep
Aid Station Planner
Enter your race checkpoints and goal time to get estimated arrival times at every aid station, segment paces, and hiking zones.
GPX Explorer
Upload a GPX file to see your route on an interactive map, explore the elevation profile, gradient heatmap, and waypoints. Get full race stats including km-effort score.
Race Conditions Simulator
Estimate how temperature, altitude, and night running can inflate your trail race time - broken down factor by factor for UTMB, CCC, Lavaredo, Hardrock, and Western States.
