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.

Want to enter an event? You can see what's on by looking at the Coming Events at left or by going to the Event Calendar. Some events are enter on the day - you just turn up and register at the start. Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


Saturday schools series resumes

The second half of our inaugural Saturday Orienteering Series for school students gets underway this weekend.

The 2014 Term 1 events, which will run from February 8 to April 5, give students (Year 5 and up) of all abilities and fitness levels a safe and confident introduction to our sport in mainly traffic-free locations.

Primary schoolers may go on their own or in pairs, and parents are welcome to shadow them around the course. They have 45 minutes to get to as many controls (checkpoints) as they can, in any order.

High schoolers go on their own, setting off at 30-second intervals on a traditional line course (visiting the controls in a set order).

Discounts apply for students who pre-enter. For enquiries about the series, please contact Barbara Hill (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.; 0418 270 476).
