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.

Bike Orienteering Summer Series (BOSS) at Barnsley - CANCELLED

The Newcastle MTBO BOSS event due to be held tomorrow 3 March at Barnsley has unfortunately had to be cancelled due to bad weather and it will not be possible to reschedule. This brings to a close the BOSS series for 2012-2013.

 

Women in Sport event/ SummerGong2 - CANCELLED

The orienteering  planned today 2 March at Bicentennial Park as part of the Women In Sport event has been cancelled.  This is due to heavy rain saturating the park.

The SummerGong 2 event at Croom Sports Complex has suffered the same fate due to the bad weather and has been cancelled.

But all is not lost!  If you want to orienteer this weekend, you can still participate in the 3 hour Minigaine tomorrow starting at Mosman High School, Gladstone Avenue. Starts between 1300-1500hrs.  And the demonstration event planned to coincide with the Shell Cove Fun Run on Sunday 3 March, 8.30 - 11.30am, at Freya Reserve, will go ahead as planned, provided the fun run is still held.

 

Easter 2013 entries closing soon

This is a reminder that the standard entry deadline for Easter 2013 is this Sunday. Late entries will be accepted until the following Sunday but the fees go up significantly.

University students are encouraged to enter the Uni Champs on Easter Sunday. You can do so by selecting the Service for Uni Champs (extra $10) and then emailing the Entry Coordinators their University name and student number.
