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.

Six ONSW athletes into WMOC Middle A finals

Details: Last Updated: Wednesday, 11 July 2018 11:43

NSW has six orienteers into the A finals of the Middle Distance at the World Masters champs in Denmark tonight (Wednesday).

Briohny Seaman (Waggaroos, W35A), Hilary Wood (Central Coast, W60A), Debbie Davey (Waggaroos, W60A), Jean Baldwin (Goldseekers, W75A), Maureen Ogilvie (Uringa, W85A), Patrik Gunnarsson (Big Foot, M40A) made it into the top finals.

You can see a short video of the day's highlights from Tisvilde Hegn here.

Tisvilde Hegn is legendary in Danish Orienteering for its special vegetation and characteristic contour features.

The forest primarily consists of conifers, but beech is also found – primarily in the eastern parts. With its rapidly changing visibility, the terrain will challenge the participants’ capabilities to alter their speed and navigate carefully in very detailed areas.
