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.


GO, NC runners take the cake at O'Shea

Gwandalan on the southern shores of Lake Macquarie hosted the annual O'Shea weekend in brilliant sunshine.

Central Coast's Mark Schaefer and Newcastle's Steven Roberts won the Long Pairs, finishing two minutes and 42 seconds ahead of Newcastle couple Jenny and Damien Enderby.

Garingal couple Andrew Smith and Toni Bachvarova were the same margin away in third place.

Stablemates Aniko Fozo-Kertesz and Peter Fozo took out the Short Pairs by two minutes from Malcolm Roberts and Carolyn Matthews (NC).

The Enderby daughters Mikayla and Erika were third.

It was lovely to have Frank and Ethel Anderson, founders of the O'Shea 2-Days in 1983, on hand to present the yummy cake prizes.

The O'Shea comprises a two-person relay (total time counts), then a night run (better of the two times counts) and a Sunday morning team score course (time that the slower team-mate gets to the finish counts).

Final results can be found here. Thanks to Central Coast for a huge effort. The planned date for the O'Shea in 2021 is Feb 28-29.

Central Coast will also be staging three bush events over winter: on May 3, June 21 and July 5.
