Would you like to calculate your time for a race you weren’t able to take part in? Compare yourself with your fellow runners using Augustin Genoud’s calculator.

Suppose that you and a friend both raced in the SwissCityMarathon half-marathon. She then took part in the Zürcher Silvesterlauf, which you weren’t able to make. With the calculator, you can now work out what time you would have got in the Silvesterlauf by comparing yourself with your friend.
