Learn to Orienteer - Port Macquarie

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.


11 Easter titles to NSW Orienteers

Eleven NSW orienteers took out their age classes at the big Easter carnival in South Australia.

Multiple medals went to the Enderby, Woolford, Marsh, Barbour, Freeman, Blatchford, Iskhakov, Morris, Schafer and Rothery families. 

Nicola Blatchford (NC) and Aidan Dawson (GO) cemented their spots in the Australian team for the junior world championships in Norway in July with podium finishes across the 4 days of elite competition. 

Big Foot came third in the champion club competition (decided by results in the Long distance event on Sunday), relinquishing the trophy they won last year at Clandulla on home soil.

And in a promising sign, NSW sub-juniors took out the first four places in the MW10 Novice class!

There were lots of compliments from many people on the outstanding organisation by Orienteering South Australia and great courses in delightful outback terrain for each of the 4 days. 

Results from all 4 days are here. There are lots of photos on the OA Facebook page and from Tony Hill
