Pop star Harry Styles ran the 2025 Tokyo Marathon on March 2, finishing in a time of 3:24:07, which is an average pace of 7:47 per mile.
Styles, 31, paced the marathon like a pro. He came through the half marathon mark in 1:42:03, then split 1:42:04 for the second half—although maybe it’s no surprise that the three-time Grammy winner can keep a metronomic tempo.
Okay, well he did have one small blip in his rhythm. His fastest recorded 5K split of the day came between 30K and 35K (23:16), but he slowed to 25:47 over the next 3.1 miles. Still, he finished strong and crossed the line in 6,010th place out of over 37,000 runners.
Styles was captured in a social media video during the race. He’s wearing a white hat, black Nike top, and neon Nike shoes, which appear to be the Nike Alphafly 3.
The time is impressive for Styles, and there have been signs he has some running prowess. According to a 2024 article from Coach, Styles boasts a mile personal best of 5:13 and would go for six to 11-mile easy runs with his trainer around London.
Styles has been spotted in Hoka shoes in the past, and it’s no secret than many runners get pumped to his music. U.S. Olympian Nikki Hiltz is a big fan.
While dozens of celebrities have run marathons, Styles’s sub-3:30 mark puts him among the fastest.
