    April 17, 2020. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the guidelines of the CDC and local and state health officials, and the feedback from the permitting agencies (U.S. Forest Service and City of Missoula Parks & Recreation), we will not be able to conduct the 2020 Pengelly Double Dip and Bob Hayes Single Dip on Saturday, June 6th.

    After carefully considering options and working with the U.S. Forest Service, Missoula Parks and Recreation, and the University of Montana, the 2020 races will be postponed to Saturday, August 15th.  As runners ourselves, we understand the disappointment this will cause to our participants, as well as the impact this has on our sponsors.

    The organizers of the Pengelly Double Dip & Bob Hayes Single Dip 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.

    About Bob Hayes:  Bob's running legacy was established in the mid-1990s with dozens of half marathons, marathons, and ultramarathons.  His active lifestyle included running 30 to 40 road races each year into his late 80s.  When he wasn't running, he was cutting his own firewood by hand, hauling hay to his cattle, or tapping his maple trees for syrup.  Bob died on May 14, 2018 of natural causes.  He was an inspiration to runners across Montana and around the world.  He touched so many lives with his indomitable spirit and unceasing determination to do things the hard way.  His spirit will continue to live on in every runner who ever toed the line with him, who were encouraged by him midway through a race, and who celebrated with him at the finish line.  To learn more about Bob's story, check out the film The Hard Way.
