Orienteering research - newcomer experience

Orienteering Australia ran a national research project to understand what can be done to help more people discover and enjoy our sport.

We heard from 1308 participants who:

  • Never tried orienteering before,

  • Tried it once or twice,

  • Used to participate,

  • Or are currently involved.

The winners of the prize draw have been announced!

Check out the news article and video to find out who won.

Plus we rewarded people with a $20 voucher who were named as a ‘referrer’ by 5 new people.
