Directions to Gloucester High School/Check-in for Blackburn Challenge

Take Route 128 north toward Gloucester.  Rt. 128 separates from Rt. 95 in Lynn/Peabody so make sure you take the correct highway. Stay on Rt. 128 until you go over the Annisquam River.  It is a large bridge you cannot miss. After crossing you will exit at the Grant Circle, a rotary, exit 11.  Take the first right off the rotary onto Washington St. Follow for about 0.25 miles to Centennial St. and take that right.  Follow that for about 0.40 miles to Blynman and take that right.  As you drive down you will see the high school.  Go right into the lot where you will end up parking, the boat ramps are around the back as is the entrance for registration/check in.
