The news was confirmed by race organizers to the news agency dpa, with local publication Der Tagesspiegel breaking the story of his surprise entry. Styles, 31, who rose to fame as a member of the iconic boy band One Direction, was among a staggering 55,000 runners tackling what’s known as the fastest marathon course in the world.

Adopting the pseudonym 'Sted Sarandos' for the race, Styles cleverly disguised himself with a headband and sunglasses, blending in with the crowd while aiming for the highly sought-after sub-3-hour marathon milestone.
