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.

Potential weather related changes:
The weather patterns have not been kind to Victoria over the last couple of months with the competition terrain having received a lot of rainfall. OV’s resident weather forecasters (yes there are several) have not provided any commitment on whether the area will experience more rain before the carnival or not. Additional rain may mean some changes will be required to parking arrangements, and in extreme conditions, to a couple of events and their start locations. Please keep checking Eventor and the AOC website for further weather related updates and be prepared to car pool. https://aoc.orienteering.asn.au/
