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.


Beaumont Road, Riverside Girls take out Sydney North title

Beaumont Road PS and Riverside Girls HS were declared champions at the annual Sydney North schools championships at St Ives Showground on Monday.

It was fantastic to see so many new schools participating and the event growing each year.

The format of map walk with a coach, individual age race and relay gave the 160+ students the full range of experiences.

The 3-person relays after lunch were once again a hoot, with the mass start sending the first wave of runners everywhere. North Sydney Boys HS made it a trifecta in the high school section, while Beaumont Road PS did likewise in the primary division.

Apologies for the computer glitch that prevented results being processed on the day. They are now on our schools champs web page

A huge thanks to Barbara Hill and Peter Annetts for organising, to Liz and John Bulman for setting some highly engaging courses, and the small army of volunteers who ensure a smooth day for all.

A reminder that entries for our annual NSW Schools Championships close on August 19. Students must enter via Trybooking. You may do Saturday, or Sunday, or both days.
