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.

Newcastle Shorts offer brief break from bush

Details: Last Updated: Tuesday, 02 July 2019 09:43

Newcastle added some novelty to the halfway point of the bush season with four quality sprint events at the weekend.

Two races each on Saturday and Sunday in a mixture of urban, campus, parkland and benign bush with no street crossings made for a nice break from the forest.

Around 80 competitors on Saturday were on hand at Cardiff High School and Hunter Sports High, while Sunday saw 55 people at Avondale College in Cooranbong (Sydneysiders were by then back home at the MetrO League).

You counted your best three runs, and the winners in the long class were Jenny Enderby and Alvin Craig, and in the short class were Erika Enderby and Andrew Power.

A big thank you to the Rigbys for co-ordinating this terrific weekend. You can see Tony Hill's great photos here.
