The Pint & Pork Scratchings 5 is a trail running event located in Epperstone, Nottinghamshire. The race covers a distance of 5 miles (approximately 8 km) on undulating trails through the local countryside. This fifth edition of the event serves as a fundraiser for The Brain Tumour Charity.
The course features multiple elevation changes, including a notable hill climb within the first mile of the route. The event starts and finishes in Epperstone, with The Cross Keys pub serving as the central hub for the 2026 edition.
