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.

Karin Hefftner retains SSS Cup

Garingal's Karin Hefftner has won the Sydney Summer Series Cup for the second straight year - and came within one run of a perfect season.

Karin's tally of 2580 points (out of a possible 2600) included 25 wins from 26 events in the Super Veteran Women's class. Her only 'stumble' was in week 10 at Sugarbag Creek on the steep Big Foot map of Lindfield/Roseville.

Even more meritorious is that Karin regularly finishes in the top quartile of all runners each week! Final Cup tallies are on the SSS website.

Our 23rd SSS season wrapped up at Macquarie Uni under leaden skies last Wednesday and the top 3 overall placegetters in each class received chocolates or wine from series co-ordinator Ross BarrThanks to all the setters, vettors, competitors and clubs for another successful season.

For those Sydneysiders who need their fix of midweek score course orienteering, don't forget the monthly Moonlight Madness night-time series which starts on April 9 at Vineyard Creek, Telopea.

In Newcastle, our biggest club also concluded their summer season with a night championship at Brickworks Park at West Wallsend. This map has some serious contours! Alex Massey took out the long course and Jim Lee the short.
