Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Newcomers spring into summer series

Like bees to a honeypot the citizens of Crestwood buzzed their way around the Western Sydney Summer Series on Sunday in record numbers.

Garingal legend David Stitt's courses attracted 81 entries but, when you add in family members and groups, the attendance was about 120.

The free MINI course (now on offer at the Wednesday SSS as well) had 20 entries and about 40 participants - a tremendous result and ensuring even greater visibility with kids running this way and that.

Over at Sandringham on the southern tip of Botany Bay, the Southern SSS began under cool skies with around 50 entries. We note Mike Free (GO) ran at both - a great effort and much petrol expended literally and physically!

And Newcastle's last bush event for the season attracted 110 people (including 25 from Sydney clubs) to a new map that sadly may have permision withdrawn due to imminent council development.

Summer orienteering is here!
