How long does a 5K take at each pace?

Easy 7:00/km is 35:00, moderate 6:00/km is 30:00, fast 5:00/km is 25:00. The builder shows the exact time for your drawn distance.

Does the route have to be exactly 5.00 km?

No. Real 5Ks land between 4.9 and 5.2 km. Draw roughly five kilometres and let the distance counter guide you.

Yes, on Pro: heart rate and cadence streams plus a Garmin or COROS device profile are written into the TCX.

TEMPLATE

The most-searched distance for generated runs, and the easiest to keep believable. Pick a pace, draw about five kilometres, export.

Three realistic profiles. Each link opens the builder with the target pace preset — you only draw the route.

Choose a pace above. The builder opens with that target pace and a distance hint.
Draw a route of roughly that distance; points snap to real roads and the distance counter updates live.
Optionally add heart rate, cadence, and a watch profile (Pro).
Download the TCX and upload it on strava.com via Upload activity.

Keep the pace inside the range your profile normally shows; a sudden 5:00/km on a profile of 7:00/km runs stands out.
Draw the route where you actually run — a park loop, a riverside path, your neighbourhood.
Add a small natural variation (Pro) so the splits are not identical.
Upload at a plausible time of day, morning or evening.
