Orienteering NSW - 2017 Aus champs nominated for event of the year

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.

2017 Aus champs nominated for event of the year

Details: Last Updated: Monday, 19 November 2018 11:25

Our awesome Australian championships carnival in Bathurst and Hill End last year is in the running for the Sport NSW Event of the Year.

Featuring maps of some mind-boggling new gold-mining terrain along with a couple of old favourites, the carnival enjoyed record entries and unprecedented media coverage (TV crews came to 5 of the 7 events).

The carnival was 3 years in the making using a significant number of orienteering volunteers from several NSW clubs. The estimated economic return to the region is considered to be $0.5-1 million.

The winners will be announced at the 2018 NSW Champions of Sport Ceremony on Tuesday November 27 at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse. Carnival organiser Barbara Junghans and husband Ron will be at the awards. Fingers crossed!

ONSW encourages our clubs and members to nominate worthy candidates for these awards each year. Click here for more information.
