English singer and songwriter Harry Styles completed the Berlin Marathon in under three hours on Sunday.
Organizers confirmed to German news agency dpa that Styles joined the race, while local daily Der Tagesspiegel first reported his participation.
The 31-year-old former One Direction star was among around 55,000 runners who took part in the marathon, considered one of the fastest courses in the world.
Running under the pseudonym Sted Sarandos and sporting a headband and sunglasses, Styles finished the 42.195-kilometer course in 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 13 seconds — breaking the coveted sub-three-hour mark pursued by many marathoners.
Der Tagesspiegel also reported that Styles had been spotted training in Berlin ahead of the event.
At the finish line, Styles posed for a photo with Paralympic double gold medalist Richard Whitehead, who is aiming to complete 20 marathons this year. Whitehead later shared the photo on Instagram.
Styles’ self-titled debut album topped charts in the U.S., Britain, and several other countries, while his 2019 follow-up Fine Line featured the Grammy-winning hit “Watermelon Sugar.”
