Styles participated in one of the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors. The Berlin race is also known to be one of the flattest courses that delivers the fastest paces, with eight men’s and five women’s marathon world records being set there.
The “Watermelon Sugar” singer cruised past the German capital’s famed monuments, including the German parliament, the Victory Column, the Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate.

During the marathon, the singer logged an impressive time of under three-and-a-half hours, besting more than 20,000 other runners.
There, fans shared several social media videos of Styles wearing all-black running gear and a pair of bright-yellow Nike road racers as he showed off his smooth stride and acknowledged fans who waved and cheered him on.
The “Cinema” singer isn’t the only celebrity to pursue marathons.
In 2021, Colin Farrell ran 3:53:14 at the Brisbane Marathon, while Jennifer Connelly clocked in at 3:45:47 and Chelsea Clinton finished at 3:45:51, both at the 2024 New York City Marathon, per Runner’s World.
