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.


Alastair George our new coach-in-residence

Congratulations to Australian junior rep Alastair George (Big Foot) who will be our new coach-in-residence this summer.

Alastair will be ONSW’s first homegrown Coach-in-Residence (CIR), which is a role renamed from the successful scholarship scheme.

His duties will be coaching and mapping in schools, assisting with adult training sessions, putting on events, course setting, and assisting in junior training camps.

Alastair has enjoyed his previous experiences as a coach in Sydney schools, and was looking to expand his expertise into mapping schools when ONSW received his application for the role.

He is aware that the previous incumbent, Grace Molloy, used her time in the role to great effect in building a platform for her future success, while also firmly focused on developing orienteering in NSW. His enthusiasm for new challenges in the role shone through.

Alastair has loads of experience from two JWOCs and we are sure our clubs will appreciate what he can add to their programs.

He starts in Orange on Monday assisting Goldseekers and will finish in the role in February when he starts uni. Clubs interested in making use of Alastair's services should contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ASAP.
