A Message from the Race Directors:
The Pengelly Double Dip went off without a hitch this year -- info about the shirt pick-up is included at the end, but first we want to say congratulations to all of the finishers of both the Double and Single Dip. Getting through this race is a great accomplishment. By now, you might even be able to walk normally, maybe not though. 

We also want to thank all of the volunteers who helped make the race go so smoothly; we could not do it without you, you've racked up some good pay it forward points. And, last but not least a big thanks to the sponsors: CrossFit Missoula, Runner's Edge, REOH, Peak Performance Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, and new to the race this year Momentum. Thanks to The Trail 103.3 for getting the word out for us. Great prizes were donated by The Wilma, 10,000 Waves, and the TrailHead. 

SHIRT PICK-UP:  If you ordered a shirt and/or a sweatshirt, they are no longer available for pick up at Peak Performance Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine. Please contact Eva Dunn-Froebig to find out how you can pick up your shirt/sweatshirt.

About Dave Pengelly
The Double Dip run 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 race began as a fund-raiser organized by the staff of the Missoula Youth Homes. The race is now organized by Run Wild Missoula, which encourages entrants to contribute generously to Missoula Youth Homes.

The organizers of PENGELLY DOUBLE DIP would like to thank the following for their gracious support in organizing this event: Lolo National Forest, The Nature Conservancy and University of Montana.
