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.


Happy New Year and welcome to 2016

We wish all orienteers and their families a safe and happy new year.

There's already lots happening around NSW and plenty of big weekends of orienteering on the horizon.

The Sydney Sprints and SHOO's Summer Sats are underway for 2016 (SHOO have just announced they will now be 45-minute events), while Central Coast's Summer Series resumes this Sunday at Kincumber Mountain.

Further down the track we look forward in particular to:

* Feb 20-21 - the O'Shea 2-Days on the Central Coast (entries are already open)

* Mar 25-28 - the Easter carnival is this year in the ACT (entries are already open)

* Apr 2-3 - the NSW Middle and Long Championships near Braidwood

* Jun 11-13 - the QB III carnival is this year around Coffs Harbour

* Aug 27-28 - the NSW Schools championships at Bankstown

* Sep 24-Oct 2 - the Australian championships in south-east Queensland

Add in the State League, MetrO League and all our club events and we've got the year well and truly covered.
