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.


Newcastle crown street series winners

Andrew Morris and Claire Williams have been crowned men's and women's champions after another successful Newcastle street summer series.

The best 10 of 17 possible scores counted. Results can be found here.

And, in a category that surely ranks among the greatest - and most inclusive - in any sport, Daniel and Sebastian Orr have taken out the pram walking section. 

What a great way to encourage parents of little ones to get out there and take in some exercise! 

In the walkers category, Arthur Kingsland comfortably won. 

Overall handicap honours went to last season's runner-up Geoff Todkill over series organiser Samantha Howe. The series attracted more than 200 different participants. Thank you to all the setters, organisers and vetters. 

Newcastle now move into Park series mode, with a long and a short line course on offer over the next three Wednesdays. Their summer program concludes on Wed Apr 3 with their annual night championships.
