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.


Permanent Courses Reminder

For those of us in Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Central Coast commencing our 2 week stay at home period a reminder that our Permanent Orienteering courses are still available for use. The Government Health orders do not allow organised community sport in this period but do allow exercise outdoors in groups of no more than 10 which is perfect for individuals or small groups to utilise these courses.

There are now 8 different venues across Sydney to choose from with the two new very recent courses opened at Cockatoo Island and West Pymble joining the existing courses at Fox Valley, Chatswood West, Headland Park, Curl Curl Lagoon, Sydney Olympic Park and Centennial Park.
 
More details and instructions on how to set up and use MapRun here. Note that there is now a new version of MapRun called MapRun6 which you can download but MapRunF also still works. For those with Garmin devices you can also download and install MapRunG on your watch which then eliminates having to also run with your phone.
