Mount Sentinel and University Mountain: The Pengelly Double Dip - Credit: Myke Hermsmeyer |
For Missoula trail runners, Mount Sentinel is where glory is won. Throughout the year, we log miles of vertical there. It's where we sweat and where we shiver. But only on rare occasion is it where we race. The Pengelly Double Dip, put on by Run Wild Missoula, is one of those races that gives us the chance to compete where we train. A rare home field advantage that nearly every athlete in the field enjoys.
