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.


Entries closing for O'Shea, State League 1 & 2

A reminder to everyone that entries close this week for our first two major events for 2018.

Central Coast are hosting their annual O'Shea 2-Days this weekend, with three runs in 18 hours around the Gosford / Mt Penang area - just an hour north of Sydney. Navigation will be easy to moderate standard.

While this is primarily a pairs event, you can enter solo and ask CC to find you a team-mate. Likewise, you may enter 1 or 2 or all 3 events - via Eventor and by Wednesday (March 7).

Enter-on-Day is available but pre-entry preferred. Cake prizes for the winners!

Our first State League weekend for 2018 is near Canberra on the following weekend (March 17-18) and entries close on Thursday (March 8). Use this link to enter both in one go. 

Please note that both events are Long Distance: ACT club Bushflyers are hosting at Collector on the Saturday, and Big Foot at Snow Hills on the Sunday.

ACT and NSW have different course classes for these events. NSW orienteers wishing to earn OY points should choose their age class from the usual options (eg M45AS, M50A). The Red class options are for ACT orienteers only.
