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.


2023 Volunteer Award Highlights Key Service

Peter McConaghy (Garingal Orienteers) has been awarded the 2023 ONSW Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of his years of invaluable service to orienteering through the production of maps and other orienteering materials.

Peter ensures quality printing and timely delivery in a tireless, kind, efficient and obliging manner, even in the face of difficult circumstances.

Throughout the year he invests considerable personal time weekly, and also invests personal finances which benefit orienteering well beyond the modest return he receives to his business. 

His is a critical and highly valuable role which goes unseen and unheralded by most competitors.

More about This Award

Each year nominations for ONSW’s annual awards are invited from Association members. The ONSW Board makes the final decision.
