Sprint Speed (mph and m/s) from Distance and Time Calculator

Speed = distance / time.

Compute average sprint speed from a timed run over a known distance. Reports speed in m/s, km/h, mph, and as a 100 m equivalent time. Standard sprint benchmarks: elite 100 m (9.58 s, Bolt) = 10.44 m/s; recreational 13–15 m/s over 40 yards.
