or call 01372 732000. 

Now in its fourth year, the event offers participants the chance to explore Epsom & Ewell's green spaces via a network of walking routes joining up the beautiful open spaces across Epsom & Ewell; including Epsom & Walton Downs, Epsom Common LNR (Local Nature Reserve), Nonsuch Park, the Hogsmill LNR and Horton Country Park LNR. 

Participants will set off from Horton Country Park at 8.30am. The challenge is to complete the full 20 mile route in one day. It is estimated to take between six to nine hours to walk the full route depending on length and frequency of breaks. 

Certificates will be awarded to those completing the full 20 miles. Those who completed the Round the Borough Bike earlier in the year and go on to complete the Hike will also get a special keepsake. 

Last year 42 participants took part and some even raised money for charity. This year's participants are once again invited to raise money for a charity of their choice. 

Councillor Jan Mason, Chairman of the Leisure Committee, said: "Round the Borough Hike is a chance to get out and about and discover Epsom & Ewell's plentiful and stunning open spaces with friends and family. You can complete the hike at your own pace or challenge yourself to achieve a milestone. Don't miss out on this opportunity to discover something new in the Borough." 

Participants must wear suitable footwear as the route covers a variety of terrain and is uneven in places; and be prepared for the weather. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Please note, bikes, dogs and roller blades/skates are not permitted for the Walk. 

Volunteer stewards are needed to help out at the start and finish and at key points along the route, if you are able to give up your time and help out please email the Council's Leisure Development's Team at leisuredevelopmentsteam@epsom-ewell.gov.uk or call 01372 732000.
