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.


2018 O'Shea entries open

Entries are now open for the annual O'Shea 2-Days carnival on March 10-11.

Our Central Coast club is debuting a new map at Mt Penang Gardens, along with the much-loved bush of Rumbalara.

All events are less than an hour from northern Sydney.

While it has a great social atmosphere (and some participants dress up in wacky matching outfits), the prizes - fruit cakes decorated with spearmint leaf lollies (see pic, left) - are keenly sought after.

The carnival is is mainly for pairs, but single entries are welcome, too. There are three events in 18 hours, as follows:

* a Saturday afternoon relay at Rumbalara
* a Saturday evening event at Mt Penang Gardens. Only one member of each pair needs to run the night sector, but both may run.
* a Sunday morning Pairs Score event at Mt Penang Gardens. Each pair splits the controls up between them, aiming to finish together.

The flyer has all the information. Entries close on March 7 via Eventor. Enter on Day is limited. If you are entering solo, organisers will find you a partner.
