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.


Glorious day for Ski O

Big Foot enjoyed superb alpine conditions for their annual NSW ski orienteering championships at Perisher on Sunday.

A record 33 starters took to the powder for a sparkling day's skiing - and the three line course winners were all regular cross country skiers who loved their taste of the O format.

Wendy Hopkins took out the 3.8km short course, Peter Heeley the 5.1km medium course and Michael Brennan the 7.5km long course.

ACT's David Poland took out the two-hour snogaine. In the Very Short course, primary schooler Aoife Rothery (BF) beat dad Eoin, with another munchkin Ariadna Ishkakova (Bennelong) third. Great to see some of our youngest club members out enjoying it.

All the event results and a link to photos are on the Big Foot webpage.

A massive thank you to the Feet and their co-organisers Bushflyers from the ACT, along with Perisher XC Week.
