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.

The heat is on at World Uni champs

Details: Last Updated: Thursday, 19 July 2018 12:36

A heatwave has made competition very tough at the World Uni champs in Finland.

Temperatures in the range of 33-35C - plus humidity - took their toll in the Middle Distance on Wednesday.

Garingal's Toby Wilson finished 62nd, more than 23 minutes off the pace, as the Scandinavians fared best in familiar but vague terrain. It was very rough going underfoot.

Organisers were giving brief cold showers as runners finished (see pic).

The champs opened on Tuesday with a Sprint Relay. The Australian team came a creditable 14th, with GO siblings Aidan and Michele Dawson anchoring the four-person team.

The individual Sprint is later today (Thu) and a cool change is expected for Friday's Long Distance event and Saturday's Relays.

You can follow all the action via the event website.
