Orienteering NSW - Easter entries top 700

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.

Entries for the annual Easter 3-Days carnival have now closed, with more than 700 orienteers from around Australia and overseas booked in.

Besides the main attraction of the 4 days of competition across the Easter weekend, the racing extends to a midweek pairs match race (Wed) and the NSW Sprint Championships (Anzac Day, Fri) and the NSW Long Champs (Sat Apr 26).

Entries for the NSW Long Champs close on March 30.

If you wish to participate but missed the deadline, you can still do so as an Enter-on-Day (EOD) person. EOD will be on offer on all days (except Good Friday) on the following courses: Very Easy, Easy, Moderate and a Hard (12A).

The carnival is based in Clandulla State Forest between Lithgow and Mudgee. It will be the biggest orienteering event in NSW since the World Masters in the same area in 2009. There are more than 50 clubs participating.

Tickets for the dinner (on Sunday April 20) close on April 11.
