Pengelly Double Dip & Bob Hayes Single Dip
→ Thank you to all our 2024 participants! We had a great day and logged many miles!
Kick off summer trail racing in Missoula with the Pengelly Double Dip and Bob Hayes Single Dip!
- The Pengelly Double Dip Course is a tall half marathon+ with 3,400 ft of elevation gain; very challenging and always worth it!
- The Bob Hayes Single Dip Course is probably the toughest first mile of a 10K that you’ll ever do. After that, it ain’t so bad, and gives you the best views in town!
- We also offer a VIRTUAL Pengelly Double Dip and VIRTUAL Bob Hayes Single Dip options!

Dave Pengelly: The Double Dip would have been a favorite event for Dave because it combined many of the things he adored: Mount Sentinel, where he had hiked since early childhood; strenuous outdoor activity; and an opportunity to enjoy, tease, and probably harass his beloved friends. Throughout his life Dave poured his incredible energy into enjoying the outdoors, especially the mountains and all manner of mountain sports. He loved to share those passions with his many friends, family members, and his younger brother in the Big Brothers and Sisters program. He also supported various organizations that fought to preserve his favorite wild areas.
Dave died June 13, 2003, in a mountain climbing accident in the North Cascades in Washington. The speakers at his memorial service, without design, presented a combined sermon on Dave’s message to them, a message reinforced by the Double Dip run: get out there and live! The Pengelly Double Dip began as a fund-raiser organized by the staff of the Missoula Youth Homes. The race is now organized by Run Wild Missoula, which in turn helps organize one of Youth Home’s largest fundraisers, Run4Kids Team, part of the Missoula Marathon.
