Cutoff Time Calculator — Race Cutoff Pace Check
Check if your pace meets race cutoff time requirements.
How We Calculate This
Cutoff Time Calculation
The calculator compares your estimated finish time against the cutoff:
Your Finish Time = (Pace per km x Race Distance) + Aid Station Stops
Buffer = Cutoff Time - Your Finish Time
Maximum Pace = (Cutoff Time - Stops) / Race Distance
A positive buffer means you finish within the cutoff. A negative buffer means you need to go faster.
