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.


Ali G makes junior AUS relay team for Oceania

Congratulations to Big Foot's Alastair George on being named in the Australian junior relay team for the AUS-NZ Challenge at the Oceania champs later this month.

Alastair, pictured left, has represented Australia at the junior world champs the past two years and has been an outstanding young orienteer for some time now.

Congratulations also to these ONSW members on their selection in the AUS relay teams for Oceania:

Women: Serena Doyle (Uringa, W18), Tracy Marsh (Big Foot, W40), Barbara Hill (Garingal, W50), Jenny Enderby (Newcastle, W50), Cath Chalmers (BF, W50), Paula Shingler (BF, W55), Debbie Davey (Waggaroos, W60), Hilary Wood (Central Coast, W60), Jenny Hawkins (Northern Tablelands, W70)

Men: Damien Enderby (NC, M40), Shane Doyle (UR, M50), Jock Davis (BF, M50), Michael Warlters (UR, M50), Rob Vincent (NC, M60), Eoin Rothery (BF, M60), Steve Flick (Bennelong, M70).

As you can see, the 50-55 age group relay teams are all NSW orienteers.

Also, event organisers have added a 55+AS short relay age class. Now that entries have closed, anyone who has pre-entered and wishes to change to this new class is asked to contact the selectors - Hilary Wood or Jock Davis.
