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.


Embargoes for 2024 & 2025 an update

Map embargoes are used to make sure that our major races are fair by restricting access to map areas prior to the event.  

Once an embargo is declared it is not permitted to visit or train on a map, or future map, prior to the event.  

Note that it is not possible to completely embargo schools or universities for those who need to attend for school or work. 

For these areas it is not permitted to train on or visit the area with an orienteering map (including a map you may have made yourself). 

Current embargoes in NSW:

  • Rylstone area for 2024 KB3 June Long weekend;
  • 2024 Australian Orienteering Championships - Armidale area;
  • 2024 Sydney City Race; and
  • 2025 NOL events - Onley State Forest (Central Coast)

Details of embargoes are listed below on our website page:
