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.

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.


Space Racing blasts off for 2017

Space Racing is our regular school holiday promotional event for kids. Our first one for 2017 is on Fri Jan 20 at Centennial Park.

It's ideal for children aged 8-14, and there's no charge for parents/carers who accompany them.

They have 45 minutes to get as many of the 20 controls as they can, in any order.

The assembly area is at Fairland Pavilion by Mackay Sports Ground. The start window is 10am-12pm. Cost is $10 for orienteering club members and $13 for onon-members.

We'd also love to have orienteers help out on the day: on the rego desk, coaching, and possibly even shadowing beginners around the course. Please email Ian Jessup if you can assist in any way.
