In a stunning display of athleticism, singer and actor Harry Styles completed the 2025 Berlin Marathon on Sunday, September 21st, in an impressive 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 13 seconds. The 31-year-old's time marked a personal best, averaging a pace of 6 minutes and 50 seconds per mile across the 26.2-mile course.

Styles joined an estimated 80,000 runners at the starting line. He maintained remarkable consistency throughout the race, completing the first half in 1:29:08 and the second half in 1:30:06. He sported a blue top, black shorts, and bright pink sneakers for the occasion.

The Berlin Marathon is recognized as one of the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors. The course is known for being relatively flat, which allows for fast times. Numerous world records have been set on the Berlin course, with eight men's and five women's marathon world records achieved there. A time between 2:30 and 3:30 is common for competitive runners.

Styles' participation in the Berlin Marathon follows his completion of the Tokyo Marathon in March 2025. During that race, he finished in under three and a half hours.

To prepare for his demanding tour schedule and marathon running, Styles has been working with personal trainer Thibo David for the past five years to increase his stamina.

Styles reportedly ran the Berlin Marathon under the alias "Sted Sarandos". He was seen at the race with Paralympic gold medalist Richard Whitehead, who posted a photo of them together on Instagram.

Other celebrities have also embraced marathon running. In 2021, actor Colin Farrell completed the Brisbane Marathon in 3:53:14. Jennifer Connelly finished the 2024 New York City Marathon in 3:45:47, just ahead of Chelsea Clinton, who finished in 3:45:51. McFly drummer Harry Judd has a personal best of 3:14:37 in the London Marathon.

Styles' achievement in the Berlin Marathon is considered a fast time for a celebrity. His commitment to running is evident through his personal bests and participation in two major races in 2025.
