Orienteering NSW September Board Meeting

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.

New to orienteering? Click here for more information.

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.

Last Updated: Tuesday, 10 September 2024 14:26

The 2024 NSW Middle and Long Champs were held over the weekend of 7 & 8 September 2024 at Clandulla. Congratulations to everyone who competed - the courses sure were challenging and worthy of our state champs! Thank you to everyone who was involved in putting the Champs weekend on, particularly from organising clubs Bennelong and Uringa. It's always a lot of work and our volunteers are who make it happen. 

Results are available on Eventor and Livelox is now working so you can see everyone's routes (thank you to Paul Prudhoe for fixing this for us!).
