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 sprints to some great results in New Zealand

Sprint the BayNSW had representatives over in New Zealand racing against some of the best down under in the Sprint the Bay carnival, an intense sprint festival that boasts '6 races, 3 days, 1 winner'.  Goldseekers Matt Parton will have felt the trip to New Zealand for the sprint carnival based around Hawkes Bay, was definitely worth it when he came back with a 3rd place overall.  Kasimir Gregory, ex NSW Carbines member and current NSW Stinger, was also racing gaining a very creditable 21st place.

For the women NSW had Summer Series racer, Lisa Grant.  Obviously all those Sydney hills have been great training as her final position was 9th overall, a terrific result racing against orienteering legends Hanny Allston, Rachel Effeney and Lizzie Ingham.
