Otley Run

In 2010, Oz and Hugh's Raise the Bar featured the Otley Run in a five-minute segment, showing both presenters join a group of students taking part in fancy dress.

With Woodies' (originally The Woodman) close to Beckett's Park and Lupton Flats, this route was similarly served by cheap "Green Zone"[42] bus tickets.

The idea that followers of the modern run should start early and visit as many venues as possible rather than cover a greater area has prompted creation of a Cumulative Impact Policy in 2005 aimed at limiting the adverse effect of Headingley's new pubs on the surrounding area[47] and quickly led to some pubs voluntarily setting up an informal warning network aimed at turning away visitors in fancy dress and in obvious large groups.

[48] Crackdowns on commercial interest in the Otley Run have been proposed[49][50] and University accreditation schemes have also threatened to look unfavourably on heavily promoted pub crawl events in general.

[53][54] Following an appeal to the original licensing rejection for conversion of the former Elinor Lupton Centre to The Golden Beam,[55] an updated application was accepted which stated that participants in the Otley Run would be refused entry.
