About Us
Fran Seton, Manager, RunFun Travel
Brought up in the country, sport was a major part of Fran’s life and she was an accomplished netball player, having been selected in the NSW state squad, as well as a champion 400m runner.
Fran caught the travel bug in her late teens but kept things under control while concentrating on family and a career in IT, culminating in becoming National IT Manager in the public sector. A considerable life shift occurred with the collision of two major events– a job with the Sydney Olympics and the consolidation of our event management business, Cundy Sports Marketing. Nothing short of a career dream come true which only got better when Fran was selected as part of the torch relay for the Sydney 2000 Games.
Being on the marathon bandwagon has also brought some interesting career choices, such as becoming a course measurer and Fran was one of only three women in the world to have been elevated to a ‘Grade B’ level. Fran has measured events including the Sydney and Beijing Olympics and the Great Wall Marathon as well as in locations such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Doha, Penang, Guam, Macau, Queenstown, Pusan and New Delhi.
Travelling to events, participating in events and organising events all culminated in an enormous passion for marathons and travel. The obvious progression was to form a travel business that combined the two – hence the formation of RunFun Travel.
Fran’s burning desire to discover everything a destination has to offer has lead to some amazing experiences as well as some life changing ones. So now it’s time to share it! Having organised travel for the past 25 years Fran knows the ins and outs of the travel industry and having travelled the world as a corporate she also understands what travellers want and how much the small things matter.
Fran’s is on a personal mission to continue to travel, run and fit as much into one lifetime as humanly possible.
