Guide to KanPas Orienteering Description Holders

Orienteering Description Holders for Race and Training

An orienteering description holder keeps control descriptions accessible while runners navigate between checkpoints. KanPas offers several formats for orienteering competition and training, including large-format, wrist, middle-distance, and long-distance description holders. The right choice depends on the event, description format, and the runner's preferred carrying method.

Keep Control Descriptions Accessible During a Race

Control descriptions provide information about the location and features of each control point. A suitable holder helps runners refer to these details while navigating, without repeatedly handling a loose sheet of paper.

Choose a Holder for Your Competition Format

Consider the length of the event, the amount of description information, readability, and how you prefer to carry the holder. A larger format may suit runners who need more viewing space, while a compact wrist holder may suit those who prefer a smaller carrying format.
