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.

Welcome to 2018

We hope you had a relaxing break over Christmas and New Year. There's already lots happening around NSW and plenty of big weekends of orienteering on the horizon.

The Sydney Sprints and Central Coast's Summer Series are already underway for 2018, while SHOO's Summer Sats kick off this Saturday afternoon at Harrington Park.

Further down the track we look forward in particular to our annual highlights:

* Mar 10-11 - the O'Shea 2-Days on the Central Coast

Mar 30-April 2 - the Easter carnival in Tasmania (entries are already open)

Apr 21-22 - the NSW Middle and Long Championships near Armidale

Jun 9-11 - the QB III carnival is this year in Clandulla

* Sep 1-2 - the NSW Schools championships in Sydney's Hills District

Sep 29-Oct 7 - the Australian championships in South Australia

Add in the State League, MetrO League and all our club events and we've got the year well and truly covered.

If you're looking to receive coaching - or to become an accredited coach - we'll have courses later in the year.

Don't forget to renew your membership, or join one of our friendly clubs.
