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.

Want to enter an event? You can see what's on by looking at the Coming Events at left or by going to the Event Calendar. Some events are enter on the day - you just turn up and register at the start. Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Farewell to Paul Prudhoe

Our executive officer Paul Prudhoe has stepped down after 16 years of dedication to Orienteering NSW.

Paul, a member of the Central Coast club, was first elected to the Board in 2003, then president from 2008-2014 and and took on the newly created role of Executive Officer in 2015 as we transitioned from a largely amateur oversight body to a vibrant, growing enterprise with five part-time employees.

He is a Level 3 controller, one of only three in the state, and an IOF Event Advisor, and has been in charge of major national and international events in Australia.

Paul was awarded the Presidents Award in 2015 for his tireless contribution to orienteering in NSW.

He will continue in his role as Orienteering Australia EO. We thank him for his years of service and wish him all the best.

At the ONSW AGM on Saturday at Hill End, Brian Cleland (Uringa) and Alice Martin (central Coast) stepped down from the board while Anna Fitzgerald (Goldseekers) has come on to the board. Welcome Anna; thank you Brian and Alice for your contributions.
