English singer Harry Styles was among thousands of 2025 BMW Berlin Marathon runners. 

The 'As It Was' singer reportedly finished Sunday's 442.19km race in 2:59:13. He ran under the pseudonym Sted Sarandos. 

According to reports, over 55,000 people participated in the marathon, which Kenyan long-distance runner Sabastian Sawe won.

Sawe completed in 2:02:16 while the fastest woman, Kenyan Rosemary Wanjiru, finished in 2:21:05.

Styles was pictured running the marathon in brightly coloured trainers, black shorts, a headband and sunglasses. 

"Rumor has it 👀 Harry Styles ran a sub-3 marathon in Berlin… not sure if anyone’s heard of it? XOXO, Gossip Girl," the marathon's official Instagram page captioned a picture of him in action.

Styles reportedly achieved a personal best. Earlier this year, he participated in the Tokyo Marathon, finishing in three hours and twenty-four minutes.

The 31-year-old reportedly finished in 6010th place out of 38,000 runners, which is pretty impressive. 

Styles is no stranger to strenuous exercise. In January 2024, his trainer, Thibo David, told Coach he could run a mile (1.6km) in 5 minutes and 13 seconds. 

David helped the singer train for his tour, focusing on muscular endurance and speed. It's unclear who trained Styles for the marathon.

Fellow runners praised him after the marathon, noting that her maintained a consistent pace throughout the race. 

Many were also impressed with his Berlin Marathon performance. 

Paralympic champ Richard Whitehead took a picture with Styles after the race. He finished over a minute ahead of the singer. 

"2.58 in Berlin with my mate! Anyone know him!" Whitehead teased. 

Social media users also had their say. "Let's go, Sted," one Instagram user joked.

Another user reveale that Styled had a pacer with him, which is not uncommon in marathons. 

"Rumour has it he had a Canadian legend pacing him! @meghanahoward. Gossip Girl XOXO"

It's no wonder Styles barely breaks a sweet during his two-hour long concerts.
