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.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Wagga all set for summer opener

Waggaroos are the latest of our ONSW clubs to launch into summer series mode, with their first event for 2013-14 this Thursday.

They offer 30-minute score courses as well as the standard 45 minutes, and kick off at Kaloona Drive, Bourkelands on the southern fringe of NSW's biggest inland city. Views over Jubilee Park to the west and along Willans Hill make this a lovely spot for the series opener. The start window is 6-6.45pm.

At the recent Albury-Wodonga championships, Waggaroos showed plenty of girl power with Briohny Seaman winning the women's 3.5km title (and Debbie Davey 3rd), and Kath Oliver taking out the women's 2.5km short course.

Elsewhere, Northern Tablelands (Armidale, Thu) and Western Plains (Dubbo, Fri) have their summer series well underway.

And a reminder to Sydney juniors that our Saturday morning schools series finale is this weekend at Centennial Park. Meet at the Education Centre. It's 9am rego for a 9.30am start. Rumour has it the event will be a fun relay with parents invited to join in - and possibly even a surprise on course.
