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.

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


Junior girls shine on opening NOL weekend

Erika Enderby (Newcastle) and Nea Shingler (Big Foot) started the 2021 National League in roaring form with wins in the opening round in Victoria at the weekend.

Erika (pictured right), who is just 14 and was giving away up to four years in experience, won the Middle and Long Distance races in W18A to follow her third in the Saturday morning Sprint at Gisborne.

Nea, 15, ran in W20E and won the Sprint by a minute. Older brother Ewan sits second in the M20E standings after two second placings on Saturday and a fourth in the Long at Creswick on Sunday.

Other top-3 NOL placings were:

* Mikayla Enderby (NC, W18A) third in the Middle
* Oskar Mella (NC, M20E) third in the Middle

Alastair George (BF) is 5th in the Senior Men's standings and the evergreen Jenny Enderby (NC, pictured middle) in the Senior Women's. 

Among the mere mortals competing in the public races, Debbie Davey (Waggaroos) won Course 3W at the Middle and Long while Andrew Lumsden (BF) won Course 3 at the Sprint.
