Harry Styles finishes Berlin Marathon in under 3 hours — and a false name

English singer Harry Styles ran the Berlin Marathon on Sunday. He finished in under three hours, and under a false name.

Organizers confirmed to German newspaper Tagesspiegel that the former One Direction member was among the 55,000 people who participated in the event in Germany’s capital city. Styles reportedly competed under the name “Sted Sarandos” and finished with a time of 2:59:13, besting his 3:24:07 finish at the 2025 Tokyo Marathon in March.

Sporting a headband and sunglasses, the 31-year-old pop icon finished 2,241st overall and 524th in the over-30 age group.

At the finish line, the “As It Was” singer took a photo with two-time Paralympic 200-meter dash gold medalist Richard Whitehead, who finished just ahead of him and set a goal to complete 20 marathons in 2025.

Styles’ third and most recent album, “Harry’s House,” was released in 2022 and garnered numerous awards, including Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

Sabastian Sawe of Kenya won the marathon, finishing in 2 hours, 2 minutes and 16 seconds. Japan’s Akira Akasaki finished second.
