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.

Girls feel the heat in JWOC opener

Details: Last Updated: Tuesday, 02 July 2013 11:38

Our NSW girls at JWOC felt the heat in the long distance event overnight. Debutante Nicola Blatchford (NC) came in 116th out of 148 in a time of 91.04, a good 30 minutes behind the winner Lisa Risby from Sweden. Michele Dawson (GO) was 127th in 97.14. Michele said navigation was straightforward, the terrain was good, but route choice was paramount to avoid excessive climb (450m in 7.1km in hot conditions).

In the boys section Ollie Poland was the best Australian in 52nd place in 80.34 - but only 11 minutes behind the winner, Piotr Parfianowicz from Poland.

The competition is fierce, and our team have their sights on tonight's Middle distance qualifiers, hoping we can get some runners into the A finals. Follow the action at www.jwoc2013.cz and on the team blog.
