Ultra marathons are any distance over a traditional marathon and for most this means taking on a 50km race. If you want to go further then 50 mile, 100km, and 100 miles are the other most common ultra distances.
The longer the distances, the harder it is to accurately pace, but hopefully this 50 kilometer pace chart will help give you some idea of working out a realistic time, but it’s important to remember that your primary aim is to complete the race, and that in itself is an amazing achievement.
The 50km world record has fallen several times recently and the current record was set by CJ Albertson on 8 October 2022 with a time of 2:38:43 so it’s probably a bit optimistic to include that pacing but it’s somewhere to start these pacing charts!

Aid stations will affect your pace
During ultra events there will usually be more highly stocked aid stations along the route where runners can refuel, top up their water, pick-up some food, go to the toilet, or even sit down rest your legs for a few minutes. Although this is less likely on a 50km route it’s still something to keep in mind as spending too long at each of these as these stops can drastically affect your average pace and your finish time.
Finish first, worry about pace second
Even though a 50km is ‘only’ 8km or 5 miles more than a marathon it’s still MORE THAN A MARATHON and ventures into ultra territory so is a real achievement. Your first focus should be to complete the event especially if it’s your first 50km event. Run your own pace informed by your training runs and don’t be afraid to walk up hills… nearly everyone does!
There are bound to be a few hiccups along the way that affect your pace and that could range from bad weather, sorting out an issue with your clothing, or ‘undulating’ terrain. No race is going to be perfect and once you accept that you’ll be able to stress less and actually enjoy your run.
