OA Hall of Fame

Warren Key inducted into the OA Hall of Fame

Congratulations to Warren Key on his induction to the Orienteering Australia Hall of Fame for his achievements as an athlete, with an extraordinary career at both an elite and masters level. Warren has represented Australia at six world championships, from 1979-83 and from 1993-1997, with his best results being 23rd in the Long Distance and 6th in the relay in 1981. Warren had an extraordinarily long career at the top of the domestic elite fields, with highlights being his Australian Long Distance Championships title for M21E in 1995 and 2nd in 2004 (while eligible to run M45), as well as being winner of the inaugural National Orienteering League in 1993.

Renowned for his technical skills, Warren has been dominant in his age classes over the past 20 years and has won numerous World Masters Championships titles. Alongside this, Warren has been the Australian WOC coach for many years, is a regular organiser and course setter for major championships and has recently launched his own compass and orienteering shoe brands.
