Harry Styles Breaks Three Hours at Berlin Marathon Using a Pseudonym

The 2:59:13 eclipsed his Tokyo mark earlier this year by nearly 25 minutes.

Overview

  • Race organizers confirmed his participation after Der Tagesspiegel first reported it, and the official BMW Berlin‑Marathon app listed him as “Sted Sarandos.”
  • He clocked a personal best of 2:59:13, averaging about 6:50 per mile with near‑even splits of 1:29:08 for the first half and 1:30:06 for the second.
  • Paralympian Richard Whitehead shared a finish‑line photo with Styles on Instagram, offering further confirmation of the run.
  • Published results place him roughly 2,241st overall and 524th in the over‑30 age group, according to media citing race listings.
  • He kept a low profile with a headband and sunglasses as he ran under an alias referencing Netflix executive Ted Sarandos, on a course won by Sabastian Sawe and Rosemary Wanjiru.
