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.

Space Racing hits a century

We had a massive 123 participants for Space Racing at Bicentennial Park on a warm spring Thursday, and another 40-50 parents and carers.

Groups from Edmund Rice College, the Girls and Boys Brigade, and Life Without Barriers ventured to Sydney Olympic Park for their first orienteering outing and accounted for almost half the attendees.

Garingal junior Clare Jessup and her buddy Giselle Dreyer sped around the 3km score course in just over 24 minutes, while Big Foot's NSW junior rep Ewan Shingler was fastest on the 5km line course (doing 1-20 in order) in 31m5s. 

Looking for a vacation care activity or something to keep the kids entertained during the next school holidays - come and try Space Racing!
