  • Cupless event (New For 2019)!  Aid stations and the start/finish area will not have disposable cups.  As a participant, you will receive a Hydrapak Speedcup as part of your registration to be used during the event (if you choose).  You can carry a hand-held water bottle or hydration pack if you would prefer.  Plenty of water and sports drink will be available from which you can fill your cup or hydration device.

        • You can ride down with the aid station volunteers after the equipment has been cleaned up (approx 11:15 AM)

Awards: Top Three Overall Male & Female Finishers in the Double Dip & Single Dip

Glutton for Punishment & Ice Cream Lover:
The Super Nova will return.  What is the Super Nova you ask?  Well... it's a Double-Double Dip.  That's right.  You do the course once before the actual start, then run it again as part of the official race.  While we will ask that you check in with the race director at the start or finish of your first loop, do be aware that loop one is purely voluntary, self-supported, and not part of the official Pengelly Double Dip event.
Super Nova finishers are an elite group, with a select few having completed the challenge over the years.  John Hart and Randy Tanner were the first to achieve this enviable distinction!  Are you are tough as those guys?  If so, and you complete the Double-Double Dip, you will receive a free Super Nova ice cream treat from Big Dipper.

The organizers of the Pengelly Trail Races would like to thank the following for the gracious support in organizing this event: Lolo National Forest, the University of Montana, Missoula Parks and Recreation, and the City of Missoula.  The Pengelly Trail Races are a Run Wild Missoula event.  This event is permitted by the Lolo National Forest, University of Montana, and Missoula Parks and Recreation.

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 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 is now organized by Run Wild Missoula, which encourages entrants to contribute generously to Missoula Youth Homes.
