Orienteering NSW - Orienteers clean up at Max Adventure race

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.

NSW orienteers dominated the Maximum Adventure races at Lake Macquarie last weekend.

Bennelong Northside's Ryan Armstrong and brother Chad took out Saturday's Classic distance in 2h7m25s, a good 12 minutes clear of their nearest rivals.

The following day Newcastle veteran Jenny Enderby and junior Oskar Mella (pictured, top) won in 2h19m46s, which was second across both days by just a mere three seconds.

On Saturday, Newcastle MTBOers Ginaya Dunn and Derrick Cant were the first mixed couple in 3 hours, and second across both days.

In the Mixed Novice class, Garingal's Heather Vrachliotis and son Anthony (aged just 10) were fourth overall.

Clubmate Kirsten Horley and partner Jennifer Jones were fourth in the Female Novice.
