The Feet per Pace calculator computes the number of feet in an average pace.

The calculator computes the Feet per Pace in feet. However, this can be automatically converted to other length measurements (e.g. meters or miles) via the pull-down menu.
To make a good estimate of the length of a regular pace. You have come up with an average pace length while in stride. To do this, put a mark on the ground, and step back several paces. Start walking to the mark, and start counting some number of paces past the mark (e.g. 10). A that point, stop and measure the length from the first mark with a tape measure. For example a man of six feet tall with a normal stride walked 14 paces in 40 feet. That gave him a feet per pace of 2.857 feet per pace.
