Joan Rivers To Run New York Marathon

Veteran comedienne Joan Rivers is running the New York Marathon for the first time later this year – at the age of 74.

Rivers, who turns 74 in June, is determined to finish at least half the 26 mile race, which takes place on 4 November.

When asked if she will complete the course on US TV show The View, Rivers said: “Who knows? I’m running four miles up in the country… I’m going to make it at least halfway, damn it.”

Discussing her training, Rivers added: “I run every day for an hour with this b**ch I love very much.”
