Meet the Event Promotions Team
Murray Fleming
General Manager & Founder
I set up Event Promotions in 1989, when Event Management was in its infancy. Running and sport has always been my passion in life, with my highlight representing New Zealand twice in the Marathon, in Macau and Birmingham with a personal best time of 2hours 18minutes. I have also run under 65 minutes for a half marathon and sub 29.30minutes for 10k, a very long time ago now!!
Seeing the thrill on our competitors faces, whether a 5k, Tough Guy & Gal event or a marathon is why I do this wonderful job.
My goal at any event operated by Event Promotions is that “competitors have an amazing experience, not just another event”. That is what drives me and my wonderful passionate team every day of the year.

Taine is the Registration Manager at Event Promotions. You may also see him whizzing around on a quad bike at events as he started in our Ops Team and likes to get back out on course when his registration duties are done!
Outside of Event Promotions he is working hard on his PhD and hopes to be winging his way to the Air Force soon.

Kathy Miller
Marketing Manager
Kathy lives in Tauranga with her triathlon mad family. After being a weekend warrior event participant for over 25 years, she is passionate about supporting every human cross their finish line. It’s always about the goal and the experience whether you are at the front of the race or at the end of it.
She brings a wealth of knowledge from a participant point of view. With a “finisher” PB Ironman of just under 15hours and a slowest time of over 16hours, she knows what it’s like to be battling it out to get to that finish line. At the end of the day the number one goal is to finish, and she will be there making sure you do! Events are about the people you share the experience with.
Kathy is also the Secondary Schools Tough Guy and Gal Challenge Race Director.
