Singer Harry Styles appears to have completed the Berlin Marathon in under three hours. Photos widely shared online show the former One Direction star participating in Sunday’s long-distance race, dressed in shorts, brightly coloured trainers, a dark top, sunglasses, and a headband.

The Watermelon Sugar singer, 31, finished the marathon in two hours, 59 minutes, and 13 seconds, according to the BMW Berlin Marathon app. Users can search for participants’ race times by bib number, and the profile associated with Styles’ bib number reveals he ran under the alias “Sted Sarandos.”

This achievement follows reports from March that he completed the Tokyo Marathon in three hours, 24 minutes, and seven seconds. Paralympic gold medallist Richard Whitehead posted a photo of the two runners on Instagram with the caption: “2:58 in Berlin with my mate!! Anyone know him!!”

The 2025 Berlin Marathon route passes iconic landmarks such as the German parliament, Brandenburg Gate, and Victory Column. The men’s race was won by Sabastian Sawe, while Rosemary Wanjiru took first place in the women’s category.

Harry Styles first gained fame as a member of the boyband One Direction before embarking on a successful solo career after the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2016. He has released two chart-topping albums: his debut self-titled album in 2017 and *Harry’s House* in 2022. Additionally, his 2019 album *Fine Line* reached number two on the charts. Styles has also had two number-one singles, “Sign of the Times” and “As It Was.”
