Harry Styles bags a Golden time as he completes the Tokyo Marathon – beating more than 20,000 runners

Harry Styles bagged an impressive time during the Tokyo Marathon on Sunday as he joined fellow runners taking part in the 26.2mile race. 

The Grammy winning singer, 31, who has kept a low profile since wrapping his Love On Tour tour in July 2023, took to the streets of the city to participate with fellow runners.

Harry logged an incredible time as he crossed the line in under three-and-a-half hours, beating more than 20,000 other runners. 

Videos shared by fans on social media, show the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker sporting a pair of black running shorts with a black Nike jumper with his number pinned to the front. 

Harry rocked a pair of bright yellow Nike road racer trainers and opted for a pair of sunglᴀsses. 

He kept his brunette locks out of his face with white headband and was seen listening to music through a pair of AirPods.

The Golden singer showed off his smooth stride and even acknowledged fans who waved to cheer him on as he quickly past. 

In one clip, the Don’t Worry Darling actor gave a thumbs-up to onlookers as he breezed by them with a smile.

Harry clocked a net finishing time of 3:24:07 (and a gross time of 3:37:19), according to preliminary records from the Tokyo Marathon’s official website.

For reference, the race’s men’s winner, Tadese Takele, finished with a net time of 2:03:23, while Harry came in 6,010th place out of the 26,706 runners who completed the course.

More than 37,000 runners were registered for Sunday’s event — which took participants on a course that symbolises the past, present and the future of Tokyo, according to the marathon’s website.

Harry’s splits are really where fans can see him shine. He ran the first half of the marathon in 1:42:03 before a near-identical split of 1:42:04 for the second half, per Runner’s World.

Overall, the One Direction star kept an average pace of 7:47 per mile and recorded his fastest 5K split — 23:16 — between the 30K and 35K mark.

It comes after One Direction reportedly turned down an offer to reunite for an appearance at the BRIT Awards and pay tribute to their late bandmate Liam Payne.

The group were reportedly approached by bosses about the prospect of performing live at the event on March 1.

However, sources told The Sun that Harry, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik all decided against the idea.

Liam died aged 31 in October following a drug binge, when he fell to his death from a H๏τel balcony in Argentina. His medical cause of death has now been announced to be ‘polytrauma’, a term which means a person has multiple traumatic injuries to their body.

While Liam’s pᴀssing did bring the band back into contact for the first time since Zayn left the band in 2015, it’s thought that they have no plans for any projects as One Direction in the foreseeable future.
