The journey commenced from Calabar to Obudu, with participants documenting ongoing government interventions on the road network, which have significantly reduced travel time to the world-class resort. The trip also showcased the rich natural beauty of Cross River State, highlighting its diverse flora and fauna.
The four-day adventure at the ranch featured a series of exciting activities. Participants were first treated to a welcome bonfire and barbecue night, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience.
The highlight of the event, the OMR 7.0 fitness walk, was officially flagged off on Saturday, June 20, by the representative of Governor Bassey Otu, the Commissioner for Finance, Dr. Michael Odere.
Speaking earlier, Chairman of the Healthy Billionaires Fitness Club, William Archibong Jnr., welcomed participants and expressed delight at the impressive turnout recorded for this year’s edition. He appreciated the Cross River State Government for its continued support and acknowledged partners, including Nugi Tech and Odere Brothers, for supporting the club through the “Think Cross River” initiative.
Also speaking, the Vice Chairman of the club, Mr. Great Ogban, noted that the event represents the club’s contribution towards supporting and promoting the current administration by showcasing the ongoing revitalisation of the Obudu Mountain Resort.
The grueling 11-kilometre hike through the Obudu hills, which included navigating the famous 22 sharp bends, tested participants’ endurance, with the first set of hikers completing the challenge in an impressive two hours and fifteen minutes.
Chairman of the L’Adventure Edition, Mr. Effiom Effiwat, described the event as highly successful and memorable. According to him, members enjoyed a welcome bonfire and barbecue party on arrival, a sumptuous brunch after the fitness walk, and a fully activated club party at the arena.
