40 Yard Dash Speed Calculator
Convert a forty yard dash time into an average speed in miles per hour and kilometers per hour. The forty is the signature test at football combines, but the raw time hides how fast you actually moved, so translating it into speed makes the number easier to grasp and compare. Forty yards is a fixed distance, so average speed is simply that distance divided by your time, converted into familiar units. Enter your forty time in seconds and the tool computes yards per second, then average miles per hour and kilometers per hour across the run. Keep in mind this is average speed over the whole forty, and your peak speed near the end is higher because you start from a standstill. Use it to benchmark against combine results or track sprint progress. It all runs in your browser.
