The American Red Cross has announced that the 14th annual Blood Sweat & Gears has sold out.

The event, scheduled for Saturday, June 23, sold out in seven hours (100-mile route) and the 52-mile route sold out in 10 hours.

“We currently have a waiting list of 450 riders. Blood Sweat & Gears has come a long way in 14 years — only 200 riders braved the course in its first year.
