Obudu is a local government area and town in Cross River State, Nigeria. The area features a tourist resort, Obudu Mountain Resort, which hosts an annual mountain running competition called the Obudu Ranch International Mountain Race. The town of Obudu is downstream from the Obudu Dam, which has caused acute scarcity of drinking water in the dry season.[1][2] The town is approximately 17 kilometers away from Bebi Airport[3] and is a 6-hour drive from Calabar, the capital of Cross River.[4]
