Overview
- The BMW Berlin Marathon app lists Styles’ official time as 2:59:13, and organizers confirmed his participation to dpa after local outlet Der Tagesspiegel first reported it.
- He entered under the pseudonym “Sted Sarandos” and wore a headband and sunglasses to keep a low profile during the race.
- The sub‑three‑hour result cuts roughly 25 minutes from his 3:24:07 at the Tokyo Marathon earlier this year.
- Styles posed at the finish with Paralympic gold medalist Richard Whitehead, who shared their photo on Instagram.
- Berlin, an Abbott World Marathon Major known for its fast, flat course, drew tens of thousands of runners; Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe and Rosemary Wanjiru won the men’s and women’s races.
