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.


Clean sweep for Carolyn

Congratulations to Newcastle's Carolyn Matthews for a clean sweep of her three races in W50 at the Victorian MTBO Champs at the weekend.

It was only a tiny NSW contingent who made the long drive to a chilly Maryborough because the event clashed with our State League weekend on the south coast hosted by ACT.

Other place-getters at the MTBO were:
Andrew Power (NC, M50) 1st Sprint, 2nd Middle, 2nd Long
Malcolm Roberts (NC, M60) 1st Middle, 2nd Sprint
Robert Prentice (NC, M60) 2nd Middle, 3rd Long
Michael Ridley-Smith (Garingal, M50) 2nd Sprint, 3rd Long
 
Commiserations to Ori Gudes (Uringa, M40) who suffered mechanical failure on Saturday and had to borrow a bike on Sunday.
 
The next MTBO event of interest to NSW riders is in Canberra on Sunday morning (May 23) at Bruce Ridge. Details here.
