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.


Ori's good deed

A big thank you to Uringa's Ori Gudes who stopped his race to help a lost boy at Newcastle's mountain bike orienteering event on Sunday.

Ori was approaching his last control at Killingworth when he came across a distressed boy aged about 10 or 11.

The boy had been walking his dog in local bushland but the dog got out of sight and the boy became misplaced while trying to find the dog.

Ori came to the rescue, calling the boy's dad and calming the lad until the father came to collect him.

Ori remained in touch with the event organisers throughout to let them know of the situation, and had his time adjusted - resulting in a second placing in the Men All Score category.

Well done, Ori.

The last BOSS event for the summer is on Sunday March 13 at O'Donnelltown.
