Overview

  • Styles finished in 2:59:13 with even splits (1:29:08 for the first half and 1:30:06 for the second), averaging about 6:50 per mile for a verified personal best.
  • Organizers confirmed his participation to Germany’s dpa after local outlet Der Tagesspiegel identified his pseudonym in the official results lookup.
  • Paralympic champion Richard Whitehead posted a finish‑line photo with Styles, providing on‑site corroboration of his run.
  • Official results place him roughly 2,241st overall and 524th in his age group among about 55,000 runners on Berlin’s renowned fast course.
  • Coverage noted his incognito approach—headband, sunglasses, and Nike Alphafly 3 racing shoes—and contrasted the result with his 3:24:07 finish at March’s Tokyo Marathon.
