Local charity Michael Sobell Hospice (MHS) is bringing back its annual sponsored walk on Sunday September 18.
Walkers and their four-legged friends will stroll through Northwood , Moor Park and Rickmansworth on a three or seven mile route to raise much-needed funds for the local hospice.
Participants will set off from the Northwood-based hospice at 9am on the day, and will put their trainers to the test along a picturesque route through the local greenery.
Three-mile participants will then be transported from their finish line at Spring Well Lock back to the hospice for refreshments and a certificate, while seven-milers will join them back at base.
Entry costs £10 for adults, and £5 for children under 16. You can also buy a family ticket for £20, which covers two adults and two children.
To enter, simply pick up a registration form in any of the MSH shops in Northwood , Ruislip and Eastcote , or go online .
Sam Heggie, PR and marketing manager for MSH, said: " We last held this event three years ago, so are delighted to see the return of the annual sponsored walk in aid of Michael Sobell Hospice.
"If you like walking or take the dog out for a walk on a Sunday morning, this event will be perfect for you. All ages and abilities are welcome to take part, and the route is both buggy and dog-friendly too.
"It's a real family fun event, and all walkers should have finished their walking challenge by lunchtime, so can complete this special day by getting together with family and friends for lunch as a treat.
"Our last event helped to raise £5,523 for Michael Sobell Hospice, so we hope that we can smash this amount by encouraging all our walkers to raise as much sponsorship as possible.
"All funds raised from the walk go directly to supporting people facing life-limiting illness in our local area."
The very first sponsored walk event in aid of the hospice took place in 1984, and saw 400 walkers raise £800.
