multi-sport training & racing fun
We’re Hawaii’s bike and triathlon store, bike repair shop, and training headquarters. We always encourage our athletes to exceed their initial expectations.
Beginning with 25 members as a small training clinic in the spring of 1994, BOCA Triathlon Training (now BOCA Hawaii) has grown exponentially. We have developed into a network of athletes who foster team spirit in what is typically viewed as an individual sport.
Our members participate in triathlons across the islands, as well as numerous national and international half and full Ironman races. Our athletes also enjoy taking part in cycling races, marathons, off-road challenges, with some even venturing into ultra-distance racing. Others train with friends as part of a maintenance program to stay fit and healthy.
BOCA Hawaii’s founder and director, Raul Torres, nicknamed BOCA, has achieved his goal of creating a support system for athletes seeking self-improvement.
As one of Hawaii’s top athletes and coaches, Raul, a Brazilian with a zest for life, came to Hawaii in 1989 to participate in the Kona Ironman and fell in love with Hawaii’s charm. Beginning with structured programs for races like the Tinman, Raul realized that athletes needed and enjoyed training with others to motivate and push themselves beyond their limits. Since then, this inspirational Brazilian has continued to share his enthusiasm for the sport of triathlon by offering ten programs throughout the year. Having assembled an impressive team of coaches and consultants, Raul has covered all aspects of a comprehensive training.
In addition to coaching, Raul is passionate about organizing quality races for island athletes, and takes great pleasure in presenting outdoor challenges for learning and personal growth.
BOCA Hawaii about the sheer challenge of being the best you can be, regardless of the goal you seek to achieve.
