American woman goes viral after admitting she thought Otley run was exercise

An American living in England has gone viral on social media platform TikTok after admitting to a rather hilarious mistake. Kristen Howell, who has lived in England for over two years said she still struggled getting to grips with some of the cultural differences.

The most recent one being some confusion about the Otley Run in Leeds. The Otley Run is a popular pub crawl among students and locals in which you visit 18 pubs starting in Headingley and finishing in Leeds city centre.

The run has become somewhat infamous over the years, with residents complaining about anti-social behaviour and noise, however, Kristen thought it was something else entirely when she went with her friends. Kristen admitted during the video that she thought the Otley Run was an actual run, as in exercise.
