Patrick Ugbe, media officer for the race told the media in Calabar yesterday that visitors to the Ranch on Saturday will not only be coming to watch the best of mountain running but also to savour the beauty of the place variously referred as a tourists haven.

"The Ranch possesses a temperate climate due to its high altitude. It has a cable car installed which brings guests from the base camp or 'bottom hill' to the summit of the ranch. At the base of the hills on which the ranch is located lies a newly built world-class water park with state-of-art swimming facilities and water slides for children, teens and adults.

The hilltop (cattle ranch) is about 11 km of winded road from the base and can be accessed by either the cable-car or the road", said Ugbe who added that there are also many tourists attractions at the Ranch.
