Orienteering NSW - 2024 NSW Schools Orienteering Championships

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.

Thanks to Macquarie University for hosting us yesterday. What an outstanding venue. We appreciate access to such a beautiful campus.

Thanks too to Ku-ring-gai Council for access to Twin Creeks. The wildflowers were magnificent and the sandstone rock detail made for some challenging adventures.

To deliver three big events over the weekend, the extended Bold Horizons and friends team all put in some huge hours. Thanks so much, everyone.

We couldn't do it without you all and we just loved seeing so many people out running, thinking, socialising, supporting each other, and generally having a great time.
