The teams have to complete the gold event, which is 52 miles in 24 hours.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He added there was a good bit of entertainment along the route to keep people's spirits up, while food and drink was also offered to the plucky participants.<\/p>\n<p>Blairgowrie Merchants Association president Kate Flemming was delighted to see the event return, as it raised so much money for good causes in 2011 and is sure to do the same this time around.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Trevor Smith<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801401283-ADNFCR\"
