Learn to Orienteer - Port Macquarie

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.

Want to enter an event? You can see what's on by looking at the Coming Events at left or by going to the Event Calendar. Some events are enter on the day - you just turn up and register at the start. Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Wagga summer series around the corner

Waggaroos start their summer series on Sunday morning, offering a score course with a choice of 30 or 45 minutes duration.

All the details can be found on the series web page.

SportIdent electronic timing is used and timing sticks can be borrowed at the event.

Controls are visited by answering a circling the answer to a question about each location, eg "50 - the colour of the letterbox at 45 Smith St is yellow / blue".

You may start your run / walk any time between 9-10am.

You can see a map from last summer here.

Waggaroos finished their winter program at Rawlings Park with an informal score course that featured a huge variety in terrain.

One minute participants were sprinting across the lovely flat turf of soccer fields, then splashing through sheets of water left after overnight rain, then running through open woodland, then pushing through shoulder high wild oats, then sliding across the mud on the bush tracks.
