Pregnant Paula Radcliffe is to run in New York in June

Pregnant marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe will be back in action in New York next month - but as a fun runner, not as a racer.

The 36-year-old is due to give birth to her second child in late September and will appear on 12 June at the 39th NYRR New York Mini 10k.

The three-time winner of the New York City Marathon will be a special guest at the women-only road race.

"She intends to run, not race," a New York Road Runners spokesperson said.
