Wānaka Sled Dog Festival organisers are "on a pretty big high" after hosting their biggest competition in 15 years.
Race co-ordinator and secretary Stacey Looser said it was the best turn out since 2008, as 34 sled dog racers competed in the three-day event.
"It was absolutely amazing," Mrs Looser said.
"We had three days of fantastic racing, so we are all on a pretty big high at the moment."
The competition, held at Snow Farm, is the only snow-based sled dog race in New Zealand. Races usually take place in forests where wheeled rigs and scooters are used.
