Departing from his usual stage performances, the 31-year-old singer, formerly of One Direction fame, participated in the marathon on Sunday, 2 March, capturing the admiration of fans and fellow runners with his remarkable race time.

Styles crossed the finish line in an impressive three hours and 24 minutes, securing the 6010th position among participants. His noteworthy accomplishment was underscored by his consistent pace of 7:47 per mile (4:50 per km) throughout the challenging 26.2-mile course. In a race where the ultimate victor, Tadese Takele of Ethiopia, completed the marathon in 2:03:23, Styles’ performance stood out for its endurance and dedication.

Beyond his overall time, it was the unwavering steadiness of Styles’ pace that garnered praise from the running community. Notably, the Grammy-winning artist maintained a split time of 1:42:03 for the first half of the marathon, mirroring this with a closely timed 1:42:04 for the latter half. This consistency underscored his commitment to the race and his physical prowess.

Styles’ impressive display of fitness comes as no surprise given his dynamic stage presence and rigorous schedule. His extensive ‘Love On Tour,’ spanning 173 shows worldwide over 22 months, attests to his stamina and commitment to performance excellence. His personal trainer, Thibo David, revealed in an interview with Coach in January 2024 that Styles boasts an impressive mile time of 5 minutes and 13 seconds, a testament to his athletic capabilities.
