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.

With the summer holidays now over, four of our regular street and park series resume this week.

In Armidale, Northern Tablelands' Twilight series will run throughout February on Wednesday afternoons. They offer a scatter course with a choice of 10, 15 or 20 controls.

 

In Orange, Goldseekers' Twilight series runs throughout February on Friday evenings. On offer is a one-hour scatter course with 25 controls; participants can choose to get 10, 15 or 20 controls. 

 

In Wollongong, IKO's Summergong series runs throughout February on Sunday mornings. On offer are the traditional 30-control score course and a 1-2km beginners line course.

 

In Sydney, the SOS resumes its Saturday morning timeslot for 6 weeks. Run by our partner organisation Bold Horizons, you can choose from line courses or a score course. Term 1 for 2017 will focus on sprint orienteering, with most venues being high schools in northern Sydney.
