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.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


2018 Highlands Forest Series starts on Sunday

Our winter bush season starts rolling out this Sunday when SHOO put on the first of their monthly Highlands Forest Series events, at Belanglo State Forest.

The opening event is on The Piggery map, last used at the Xmas 5-Days, and coincides with our Women's Nav Skills Weekend.

Courses will be set to cater for all levels of ability and there will be someone on hand to help those new to running around the forest. The start window is 11am-12pm. 

SHOO have steadily grown their Summer Saturday series and the Forest series piggy-backs onto that nicely.

It means orienteers in the greater Sydney basin have 3 quality events per month over winter: State League, MetrO League and the Highlands Forest series.

The 2018 schedule is:
Mar 4 - Belanglo SF
Apr 29 - Belanglo SF
May 20 - Mt Alexandra Reserve
Jul 15 - Soapy Flat
Aug 12 - Boxvale Tramway
Sep 16 - Tahmoor

For further details, see the series flyer and Eventor.
