The Otley Run has been a longstanding tradition in Leeds. Punters pack out the pubs on Otley Road right into the city centre, often in fancy dress.
The Otley Run consists of 18 pubs, each one heading in the direction of Leeds city centre. Participants start at Woodies Ale House and continue down Otley Road heading to pubs such as the Original Oak, Skyrack, Hyde Park Pub and finally, the Dry Dock.
Over the years the event has faced criticism from businesses and residents within Headingley due to a rise in anti-social behaviour. Recently, councillors and residents came together to discuss what could be done to kerb the antics with discussions including stripping it back or potentially removing it altogether.
