VOLUNTEERS put their best foot forward to raise money for good causes at the Winchester Rotary Club's annual walk.
Fund-raisers were invited to tackle a variety of routes, starting from the St Catherine's park and ride site on the city's outskirts.
Around 200 people took part, including Cllr Chris Pines, the Mayor of Winchester. Rotary club members presented him with a £500 cheque for his mayoral charities after the event.

The rest of the walkers were raising money for a variety of good causes, although one in particular was set to benefit.
At least half of the money raised on the day will go towards the Emmaus Hampshire project.
It aims to provide accommodation and training for 23 homeless people, and work started on its proposed £3m centre at Bar End in March.
Organisers are yet to count up how much money was raised at the charity walk, which took place on Sunday (May 4).
However, last year's event - which was chiefly designed to benefit Winchester-based charity, Wells for India - raised £12,500.
