Orienteering NSW - Round 2 at Port Macquarie and northern Sydney

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.

Round 2 at Port Macquarie and northern Sydney

Details: Last Updated: Monday, 04 June 2018 13:17

ONSW is returning to Port Macquarie this weekend as part of a federal government grant to take orienteering to new areas.

The locals loved our initial foray last November and wanted more, so we're putting on another three FREE events this Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Dave Lotty and Rebecca George have produced two new beachside maps, and we'll reuse the Town Beach map on Sunday to coincide with Port's annual Koala Festival.

Colin Burnett, Dianne Bergen and Ian Jessup will be on deck to spread the word.

After Port Macquarie we're back to northern Sydney for another round of FREE taster events on Jun 30, Jul 8 and Jul 21.

We still need a SportIdent person for Jul 8. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you can assist.

If you have friends in these areas, please let them know about the events. They all have the standard Sydney Summer Series format, with course lengths around 7.5km for all 30 controls. Navigation is Easy standard.
