Preparations for the 25th annual Bilibili Race competition are underway and a total of nine teams have confirmed their participation.

Speaking to Fijivillage, Bilibili Race coordinator Una Murray said that the hotels from Denarau have pulled out as they will be busy.

The good news on the other hand is that the Suva Holiday Inn team and the University of the South Pacific team have registered for the competition.

Murray added that the number of games played has increased and there are some new events this year.
