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.


2024 KB3 Wrap

Mel Joseph set day 1 of KB3 with Graham Dawson acting as controller for the event held on The Commons at Rylstone. 

The course had plenty of speed action and navigation challenges with unusual Green areas. The finish was on the bottom of a hill meaning you had the option to run, walk or stagger back up to the download.

Day 2 was held at Dungaree State Forest, Toni Bacharova and James Mcquillan were the setter & controller this time. 

This map had lots of gullies and subtle areas which required concentration and map contact. There were lots of timber on the ground making it rough underfoot.

Day 3 was held at Breakfast Creek which many had visited in 2023 for the NSW Championships. Arpad Kocsik set the course with Johnny Petersen controlling.

The navigation was among large sandstones features with a steep climb to the start.

Big thanks to Ken Strupitis-Haddrick (GO) for being the overall event organizer. Congratulations to all the badge winners.

Don't forget to do the course setter surveys.
