Murray Fleming
General Manager
Murray set up Event Promotions in 1989 when Event Management was in its infancy. Running and sport has been his passion in life with his highlight representing New Zealand twice in the Marathon, in Macau and Burmingham with a personal best time of 2hours 18minutes. He has also run under 65 minutes for a half marathon and sub 29.30minutes for 10k. As a recreation cyclist, Murray brings years of experience to the company with an understanding of what is expected from both his recreational and competitive participants.
Murray’s goal at any event operated by Event Promotions is “ that competitors have a great experience and not just another event”. That is why he has such a strong passion for managing the stable of events that Event Promotions host annually.

Originally from Paeroa, Georgia moved to Dunedin to study a Bachelor of Physical Education majoring in Exercise and Sport Science, as well as Physical Activity and Health. She moved to New Plymouth after graduating to work for Sport Taranaki and discovered her skillset for events and marketing. In 2019, along with her Fiancé they decided to tick off their OE and flew to Edinburgh. Their timing was sadly off and soon after arriving the severity of Covid-19 was realised and they quickly returned to NZ.
