Orienteering NSW - Entries open for 2016 NSW schools champs

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 open for 2016 NSW schools champs

Details: Last Updated: Wednesday, 06 July 2016 10:29

This year our NSW schools champs are in the Lansdowne area on August 27-28. The weekend is hosted by Uringa and staged in conjunction with State Leagues 9 and 10.

Entries are now open, with this reminder:

* all students entering the NSW schools champs must do so via Trybooking
* all non-students entering the State League events must do so via Eventor
* you may enter Saturday, or Sunday, or both days

Please note that Saturday consists of two sprints: at Garrison Point and nearby UWS Bankstown. Times will be added to calculate the winners in each class. Presentations will be held straight after.

Sunday's Middle Distance event is also close by, at Mirrambeena Regional Park. Non-orienteers should refer to the information sheet for descriptions of courses; it contains links to map examples.

Parents of competing students again have the opportunity to go on a map walk with a coach, or try a free course and compare their route with their child.

Entries close August 19.
