We at linger and die do things differently. Keep s**t simple is our theory so we made our own 3 age groups.
- 🦌 Young bucks = under 30
- 🐏 Rams = 30 to 50
- 🐂 Old bulls = 50 plus
So if you enter linger die you’ll fall under one of these 3 age groups. We have 4 classes
- Elite MTB 32km
- Open MTB 21km
- Open E-Bike 21km
- Run 21km
There will be Overall trophy’s for Male and Female of each class plus prizes to age groups in the MTB classes and overall Male / female only 1-3 in the E-bike and Run class.
Who is your pick for the win?

Unichem Alexandra Linger and die 2026 number 1 female plate - Erin Greene. This year we celebrate 30 years of linger and die and Erin is out right the GOAT having raced 24 editions, multiple wins and has the best back story having raced the very first race in 1996 with her father aged 14. Erin is probably the most respected athlete’s in the country having raced pretty much everything there is on a bike. From short track to multi day and 24hr races there is pretty much no event that doesn’t have her name on it. We are stoked to have Erin back this year so keep an eye out for her mixing things up. 👊👊👊

Unichem Alexandra linger and die 2026 number 1 plate - Brent Miller from Christchurch - Brent, known as the frog but really he’s the GOAT of linger & die. He first competed in 2006 and has only missed 2 races since. Overall winner in 2012 and 2020. Brent and his wife Hannah have been loyal supporters of linger and die and make trip south every year saying “ it’s really the only true MTB race in the country “ and hence why they never miss it. Brent’s an all round good guy who is sure to mix it up again this year with the best.
