NSW State League Orienteering 2019 WrapUp

The NSW State League series comprises mostly bush orienteering (medium and long) events at different locations around NSW as the winter season premier orienteering. There are also a couple of sprint events which are mostly held at urban locations such as university campuses. SL events include courses to suit all levels of experience and ages (demonstrated in Uringa's SL 2019 honor roll below).

Placings  are based on the best seven results (out of 15 events in 2019).

Thirty-nine Uringans ran in one or more SL events this year. It's not necessary to run  the same course across the series. Several chose different courses at different events (including one or two in the list above). One reason given was a preference to avoid a long long course in the bush.

Bush events are normally held on a weekend Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.  The events are stand alone but offer the opportunity for a nice weekend away. Often participating club members arrange to meet for a meal on the Saturday evening. These events offer an opportunity to socialise with other orienteers as well as debrief the good, the bad, and the ugly of a run.
