Pavey, 43, who ran the event in 2011 setting a personal best of two hours 28 minutes and 24 seconds, became the first British female track athlete to compete at five Olympic Games when she ran the 10,000 metres in Rio de Janeiro last summer.
“I’m always looking for a new challenge,” she said.
“I wanted to be sure I was injury-free and could crack on with my training before committing which I am and I’m really excited about the challenge.”
