With Harry Styles on the cover of the new issue of <\/a>Runner\u2019s World<\/a>, we\u2019re revisiting some of our most-read stories about his evolution as a runner, like this deep dive into his amazing finish at the 2025 Berlin Marathon. Long before this cover, Styles was putting in the miles\u2014and proving he was far more than a casual celebrity runner.
<\/p>\n

At the 2025 Berlin Marathon, we witnessed one of the fastest marathons by a celebrity<\/a> that we\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where pop star Harry Styles navigated unseasonably warm conditions to break the three-hour barrier, finishing in a stunning time of 2:59:13. It was Styles\u2019s second time running the distance after making his debut at the Tokyo Marathon in March 2025, where he paced the race very evenly to run 3:24:07<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At both races, Styles wore a pair of Nike Alphafly 3<\/a> racing shoes, Tracksmith<\/a> split shorts, and District Vision Junya Racer<\/a> sunglasses. And despite the heat and humidity at Berlin, Styles\u2014who competed under the alias, \u201cSted Sarandos\u201d<\/a>\u2014ran the race in a black long sleeve top.<\/p>\n

We dug into the data and found some interesting statistics behind the three-time Grammy winner\u2019s new personal best.<\/p>\n
