Orienteering NSW - Winners announced at ONSW Annual Presentation Dinner

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.

The Annual ONSW Presentation Dinner was held on Saturday 10 November at the Showground in Castle Hill. A new format for the event was the brainchild of Marketing Officer Ian Jessup and with attendance significantly up on 2011 it seemed that preceding the formal dinner with a family friendly orienteering competition was a definite hit.
