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.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Spring chicken Ewan takes out Turkey Trot

Big Foot junior Ewan Shingler has upstaged 10-time winner Glenn Horrocks of Garingal to take out WHO's annual Turkey Trot multi-map long distance race at Stanhope Gardens on Sunday.

Ewan found some extra gas on the last few legs to triumph by just over a minute over the 18km, with daylight back to third-placed Ross Morrison (GO).

In the women's long course, Toni Bachvarova (GO) edged out Zoe Melling (Uringa) and Belinda Kinneally (WHO).

Big Foot made it a double in the Medium course via Ewan's mum Paula and Fergus Mackie, while in the Short course WHO junior Niamh Cassar came out ahead along with Bennelong's Joel Putnam.

The fire trails, tracks, bush and contours of last year's run were replaced by a predominantly flat area with numerous parks, cycle paths, creeks and a couple of the new NW Metro stations.

You can find a full wrap here, the results here and Facebook photos here. Thanks to WHO for another successful and unique event.
