Orienteering Queensland

Who are we?

Fraser Region Orienteering Group is being re established in 2027 to provide participation opportunities for everyone in the Fraser Region. The Queensland Schools Orienteering Championships are being held in Maryborough in July 2027 and it is hoped many local students can join in the fun.

What is Orienteering?

Orienteering often called the 'Thought Sport' or 'Cunning Running' is a sport for all ages, with courses available for the under 10's to the over 80's, so people of all abilities are able to participate. You get a map with your course drawn on it. A course is made up of a number of controls (flags) numbered from one to about thirteen. With your map to guide you, you have to find each control in numerical order and record, SI sticks used mainly, occasionally at an event you will use a punch on a card.  For some, orienteering is a competitive sport. For many, it's a fun recreational activity that friends or the whole family can enjoy together. You choose the pace!
