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.


Jenny Enderby wins muddy Sprint at Oceania 2017

Newcastle's Jenny Enderby shone through the mud as the remnants of Cyclone Debbie left their mark on the opening Sprint event at the 2017 Oceania championships in Auckland.

Beneath sunny skies, more than 1,800 orienteers slopped wet ground at the Unitec campus on Good Friday in an unusually grinding start to the 4-day carnival.

Jenny Enderby won W45A by a comfortable 31 seconds, while Amy Harmer (Western & Hills) was the only entrant in W21AS and by finishing her course also took first place.

NSW athletes to win medals were:

1st place: W45A Jenny Enderby (Newcastle), W21AS Amy Harmer (WHO)

2nd place: W35A Phoebe Dent (Central Coast), W55A Gayle Quantock (Newcastle), W55AS Sandra Stewart (Southern Highlands), M14A Alvin Craig (NC)

3rd place: M45A Eric Morris (BN), M55AS Dale Wallace (Western Plains), M65A Gordon Wilson (BN), W12A Erika Enderby (NC), W70A Jenny Hawkins (Northern Tablelands)
