Athlete-led goals
Athletes define the sport, distance, pace, access needs, and race context. The platform captures those details for coordinator review.
Mission
Sport should be a place of full participation.
C Different exists to connect blind and visually impaired athletes with trained sighted guide partners for running, triathlon, cycling, swimming, and endurance events.
What C Different supports
Guide partnership
Guides contribute fitness, communication, availability, and event experience. The work is partnership, not rescue.
Coordinator judgment
Matching tools help administrators review fit, document outreach, and coordinate next steps with care.
Guiding principles
- Accessibility is a core requirement, not a feature request.
- Data collection stays focused on coordination and safety.
- Guide matching depends on athlete preference and coordinator judgment.
- The site is being rebuilt in public with verified content added carefully.
