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.  

Bob Hayes: Bob Hayes, a World War II veteran, served with the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division, fighting in the harsh winter conditions at Riva Ridge in Italy. After the war, he built a career as a timber cruiser for Intermountain, Champion, and Plum Creek. Remarkably, Hayes didn’t take up running until 1987. His first competitive race was practically in his own backyard, when the community organized the Evaro Mountain Run to raise scholarship funds.
Over the decades, Hayes built an extraordinary running legacy. He completed dozens of half marathons, marathons, and ultramarathons, beginning in 1995 with the Bighorn Mountain Wild and Scenic Trail Run 50-miler in Wyoming. Well into his 80s, he remained a fixture at the 50-mile Le Grizz ultramarathon along the Hungry Horse Reservoir. His spirit inspired runners in Missoula, across Montana, and beyond, and his story was featured in the documentary The Hard Way.

Volunteer positions will be opening on May 13, stay tuned!
