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.

Galston, Mowbray win Sydney North titles

Galston HS, with a big contingent, and Mowbray PS with just five students took out the Sydney North schools champs at sunny St Ives Showground on Monday.

More than 200 students enjoyed blue skies and great courses set by Jim Merchant that took in much of the runnable bush on the map.

Galston High have been wonderful supporters of this day since its inception in 2012 and bring a busload of eager students.

This year we noticed a lot more primary students - many progressing from the Sporting Schools programs that we conduct throughout the state.

A big thank you to organisers Peter Annetts and Barbara Hill, and the dozens of helpers.

Our NSW schools champs are on the weekend of Sep 1-2 in the Hills District of Sydney. Entries close Friday August 24 - click here for details.
