Check back for the next opportunity to join!


Salty Bears Racing is more than a team, it’s your chance to be personally led by world champions Tim O’Donnell and Mirinda Carfrae. Tim and Rinny aren’t just lending their names, they’re deeply involved. They’ll get to know you, share their experience, and guide the team through calls, camps, and connections that bring the sport to life. But this isn’t just about two champions, it’s about joining a community of athletes who share their same mindset: performance with balance, fun, and a true love of life and triathlon.

When you join, you’re not chasing goals alone, you’re doing it with Tim, Rinny, and a crew that shows up for each other. You might find yourself learning a key race tip straight from Tim, laughing with Rinny at camp, or sitting down to dinner with fellow Salty Bears after a big day. Spots are limited. Apply now and step into the 🧂🐨 family, where champions lead and community thrives.


Early Bird Bonus: FREE Boco Team Hat and swim cap for the first 50 athletes to apply and join!




"Tim and Rinny bring more than expertise—they bring presence. They lead training camps, host team calls, attend races, organize pre-race meetups, offer pep talks, and celebrate every finish line moment." 
      -Triathlon Magazine August 2025

Community.

Whether you’re new to triathlon, chasing your first Ironman finish, or training for the podium, Salty Bears welcomes you. Our team brings athletes of all backgrounds together—because while fast times are great, feeling supported, connected, and part of something bigger matters even more. With guidance from Tim and Rinny and a community that celebrates life as much as racing, this is a place to grow, belong, and have fun along the way.
