Dane McGuire runs on the track at Havre Middle School Thursday. McGuire is participating in virtual IRONMAN competitions and is going to use it to raise funds for several causes.
Havre Daily News Reporter Dane McGuire is looking to become one of the prestigious few to make it on to IRONMAN s VR Wall of Legends and raise some money for local and national nonprofits while he s doing it. McGuire moved to Havre a few weeks ago from Illinois to take his position at Havre Daily News but all the while was participating in IRONMAN s virtual races, which he will need to do every single week throughout 2021 if he wants to make the wall. Only about 100 people made the wall last year.

Dane McGuire has joined Havre Daily News as a new reporter. McGuire came to Havre from Jerseyville, Illinois, where he grew up, because this job had everything he was looking for, he said. His immediate family is in Jerseyville and were supportive of his journey to Montana despite the big adjustment, McGuire said. They knew I was getting very anxious because I graduated in 2020 and didn t have work until I came to Havre, he said. I am right where I need to be, and I got a text message from my dad saying as much this morning before I came to work.
