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.

Tight orienteering required for SHOO Saturday event at UWS Campbelltown

Details
Last Updated: Friday, 06 July 2012 15:44

The course set by SHOO on their new map provided tight orienteering amongst the university buildings as well as leg stretching gallops over the grassy hills to the outer reaches of the map.

With cool damp weather giving perfect running conditions,  participants in the score event enjoyed a course that was beautifully timed allowing a number of runners to gain all 300 points on offer with narrow time margins between the top results.  Ian Myer's winning time was followed very closely by Corinne Fulford, with Linda Sesta only 30 seconds behind.

In the easy course, experience won out with Uringa's Sophie Jones taking the top spot but young Bethany Davey had a great debut. Full results available here.

This series deservedly continues to grow in popularity with nearly 40 runners participating this week.  The next event is at Harrington Park on 21 January.

Thanks to Lyn Malmgron for her help with this report
