The Virtual Bara Battle will span eight days and conclude on the 23rd of July.

Each day of the Virtual Bara Battle, teams aim to complete a distance of 60 kilometers.

Teams successfully completing the virtual race will earn the privilege to participate in the Physical Bara Battle, which will be held at Albert Park on the 29th of July.
