Leeds Otley Run punters could be fined £1,000 for drunken behaviour as residents want fun run banned

Punters enjoying the famous Leeds Otely Run could be slapped with more than just a hangover the day after the fun run - they might also be hit with a £1,000 fine.

The Otley Run has become famous for being an 18- bar crawl in fancy dress through Headingley and into the city centre, which can turn somewhat chaotic. Residents have seen all kinds of characters from Super Mario to Disney classics walk by their window before they head onto the next bar.

What was once a student right of passage has grown exponentially into a nationally recognised event. It is now a favourite for stag and hen parties and work outings where people are coached into the area in their hundreds.
