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.

2017 State League calendar published

We are pleased to publish the 2017 State League schedule comprising 15 events, including 13 that carry championship status.

It will be a massive year for orienteering in NSW, with both major national carnivals on home turf: the Australian 3-Days over the June long weekend in Wagga and the Australian championships around Bathurst/Hill End in late September.

We are also delighted to announce that the SL season will start with the ACT Sprint and Middle championships in late March. Having this weekend co-sanctioned as State League events will provide a good preparation and incentive for those people travelling to NZ for the Oceania champs and/or World Masters in April.

Mid-may sees the NSW Middle and Long champs in the Macarthur region, while the NSW schools champs are in the Illawarra in August. And we thank Newcastle for offering to stage a SL weekend in July, filling what otherwise would be a 10-week gap. 

The final event for 2017 will be the NSW Sprint champs in mid-November, currently pencilled in for what promises to be an awesome new map of PLC Pymble. Stand by for more details of a medical fundraiser and possible ONSW presentation day in conjunction.
