Two of the super walkers from Kohupatiki Flyers, Dora Edmonds and Anaru Robin.

Anaru walked a total of 620.82 kilometers by himself and was recorded on our records as the individual who walked the most kilometers on our forty day hikoi.

In week four Anaru walked a massive 218.5 kilometers.

So congratulations Anaru for being our Hikoi Superwalker and Super guy!!!

Dora walked 225.24 kilometers, that's probably why she's got long lean gorgeous legs. Kia Ora! Dora
