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.


Late entries close tonight Sunday for ACT NOL next weekend!

Late entries close tonight for the Wildfire Sports Autumn Classics, which are National Orienteering League and ACT League events, and will be staged by Orienteering ACT next weekend.

Saturday 18 May, Wildfire Autumn Classics Day 1, Wee Jasper

National Orienteering League Round 4, Race #1 & ACT League #7

This is limestone karst terrain, unique in Australia. Although mostly open, the map is covered with intricate rock detail, which will make for a fast yet highly technical middle-distance race. The map, last used in August 2019, has been fully revised by Alex Davey. This will be a middle distance event for both National League and ACT League competitors. The existing map can be viewed here.

Sunday 19 May, Wildfire Autumn Classics Day 2, Awoonga

National Orienteering League Round 4, Race #2 & ACT League #8

This is spur/gully terrain and generally quite runnable and fast. Scattered rock features and large termite mounds cover much of the map. This will be a relay competition for National League competitors, ACT League competitors will have a middle distance. The existing map can be viewed here.

Further details for both events are available in Bulletin 1

Enter here by Sunday night.
