The Highlanders are back in the city training for their next super rugby match, on the heel of four consecutive wins.

Players were warming up this morning at Logan Park, before a team announcement for a home game against the Force this Friday.

They've just returned from Australia where they beat the Rebels.

That was their fourth consecutive win in the super rugby tournament, following a loss to the Blues in the first match.

They'll return to Australia next week to face the Reds before taking a short break.

Dunedin provided excellent conditions for the South Island Surfing Championships held over Easter weekend.

More than 100 of the country's finest surfers took to the water at St Clair, aiming to conquer the southern swell.

More than 1000 runners and walkers took to the streets for the annual Stadium to Surf event yesterday.

This year's races have expanded, with more options added to include people of all ages and abilities.

And some of the money raised is going into children's sports.

More than 500 athletes have converged on the Caledonian Ground for the start of the New Zealand Track and Field Championships.

The country's top competitors will vie for glory in a range of sporting pursuits over the next three days.

And there's much more at stake than just winning.
