Former One Direction member Harry Styles was spotted running a marathon under a fake name.
The global megastar was one of 55,000 runners at the 51st Berlin Marathon over the weekend, known to be the fastest marathon track in the world.
The singer-songwriter kept a low profile wearing a headband and sunglasses and ran the marathon under the false name Sted Sarandos.
He completed the route in 2 hours, 59 minutes and 13 seconds, a seriously impressive record for many runners.
Organisers confirmed to The Associated Press that Styles took part in the marathon, with local newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, the first to report his participation.
Styles even took a photo at the finish line with Richard Whitehead, a two-time gold medal winner over 200m at the Paralympic Games.
Fans have since reacted to his marathon success, with one person posting on X: “popstar AND marathoner?? insane.”
“Running a sub-3 hour marathon while looking better than 99% of professional runners is just showing off at this point,” another added.
“Sub 3 hours is seriously impressive for a non-professional runner. Those bright shoes must have magical powers!” a third wrote.
“Finishing under 3 hours is insane — Harry really said athlete AND artist,” added a fourth.
The singer previously ran the Tokyo Marathon March 2, 2025, and completed the course in 3 hours, 24 minutes and 7 seconds.
