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.


Riverina schools champs draw from far and wide

It is so good to be conducting our regional schools championships again after covid wiped them off the 2020 calendar.

On Wednesday in Wagga, more than 80 students (from Wagga, Leeton, Walla Walla, Cootamundra, Stockinbingal and Ladysmith) gathered at Willans Hill in the middle of town for the annual Riverina champs.

A few Waggaroos results of note were:
Cameron McDougall 1st in Boys 16+
Tom Janetzki 1st in Boys 14-15
Ryder Seaman 3rd in Boys 10-11
 
Tom also ran all three legs of the relay and took the overall win, while Ryder was youngest competitor on the day.
 
A big thanks to organiser John Oliver and Waggaroos, and to the helpers who travelled from Sydney and Canberra to assist. Wit hout you all this day couldn’t have happened.
 
Next up are the three days of the Sydney West champs at Castle Hill from June 16-18. We are expecting 300+ students each day and organiser Barbara Hill is seeking people who can assist in any way: on rego, coaching, at the finish etc.
