Marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe will make her comeback at the Worcester City 10k in September.
The 40-year-old has not run competitively since undergoing surgery on a foot following the Vienna half marathon in Austria in 2012.
Radcliffe is planning to finish her career at next year’s London Marathon and will use the Worcester event to ease herself back into racing.
“It will give me a chance to see how my fitness is developing,” she said.
