The Otley Run group was set up of members from several venues along the run at the start of the 2023 as a way of promoting information about the bar crawl and ensuring that those taking part know which venues they need to go to.
A spokesperson said: “The aim of this was just provide the most accurate information and showcase events at the pubs across the run. We do also want to promote the run as a fun activity that is a staple of student life within Leeds.”
Below are the official 15 venues to be stopped off at along the Otley Run:
7. Box
The next stop is at The Box, which is a very popular venue with sports fans that becomes very lively on game days. It’s also a boozer with a modern look and great outdoor seating ideal for watching the other Otley Runners come and go. Photo: Google
8. The Skyrack
The Skyrack is a local landmark and just a quick walk from The Box. The venue has plenty of room both inside and outside and is a great place to grab a fish finger sandwich or burger as you approach the half way point. Photo: Steve Riding
9. The Original Oak
Another traditional pub on the run, The Original Oak has space both inside and outside to accommodate the Otley Runners who may be starting to tire and the cricket fans and regular punters who may not know what they've walked into. Photo: Google
10. The Hyde Park
The short walks between previous pubs is done away with now, with the next trip being a walk or bus down Headingley Lane to The Hyde Park. It’s often a moment of truth for many on the run, with some taking the chance to slink off. Photo: Tony Johnson
