Orienteering control flags

Control equipment for training and competition

This category contains orienteering control flags and pin punches for training, school activities, introductory events and competitions. The range includes several flag sizes and a reflective option for night orienteering.

The compact 6 × 6 centimetre control flag is useful for exercises where a small marker is sufficient. The 15 × 15 centimetre flags are sold in packs of ten and suit training sessions and smaller events. Packs of full-size 30 × 30 centimetre flags are available for more traditional event use.

For night orienteering, the reflective 15 × 15 centimetre model helps make the control more visible in a headlamp beam. Check each product page for the exact dimensions, pack quantity, hanging cord, metal frame and other included components.

Pin punches provide a simple way to mark paper control cards when electronic timing is unnecessary. They can be used for beginner training, school orienteering and simple permanent courses. Before planning a course, confirm whether the punches use different pin patterns and how they should be attached. Link between the different flag sizes so organizers can compare them quickly.
